In the digital world, that would be an "electronic" signature, described very simply as a stamp (in fact, that's what it is technically spoken in Acrobat you create an image of your wet signature, and turn it into a stamp, and apply it).
I can imagine what the intention of signing every page is it is the equivalent of adding initials or a signature to confirm that one has looked at the page.
Any subsequent modifications "invalidate" (which is not really the correct term it would be better to say they make the signature no longer current) the signature, and applying another digital signature "invalidates" the previous one(s). And that's the reason why the document must be saved when it is applied. A digital signature is essentially a seal around the document it can confirm that the signer was actually who he claims to be, and that at the time the signature was assigned, the document was exactly like that.Ī digital signature always concerns the whole document. The scenario shows a serious lack of understanding of the way digital signatures work. Note: this is not against you, because (unless you created the document) you can not do much about it.
