How Bulk Signer works

1. Bulk Signer runs as a Windows Service on the Server
2. User creates a Profile and configures settings for that User profile
3. User can define an Input folder, signature placement, time interval to poll etc for that profile
4. Input folder will be polled at regular intervals
5. Any files found in the Input folder will be signed and moved to the pre-defined Output folder
6. Multiple folder levels (sub folders) are also supported. In this case the entire Input folder structure will get re-created under the Output folder
7. A folder called "failed" is reserved under the Output folder for files that could not get signed for some reason "success" or "failure" in signing is logged
