What does this check?

Whether the PDF has a digital signature, who signed it and when, the signature's format, its change permissions, and whether anything was added after signing.

Does this prove the signature is valid?

No. This is a structural check: it reads what the signature itself records and whether the file changed after signing. It can't validate the cryptographic chain of trust — certificate issuer, revocation, or trust anchors. For legal-grade validation, open the signature panel in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

What's the difference between this and the Sign PDF tool?

Sign PDF adds a visual signature — a picture of your handwritten signature placed on the page. It looks official but proves nothing. A digital signature is cryptographic: it's baked into the file and can show whether the document changed after signing. This tool checks for the digital kind.

Why does it say the document changed after signing?

Bytes were appended after the signature was applied — possibly another signature, filled form data, or an annotation, but possibly an edit. Each signature only vouches for the document exactly as it was when signed.
