Customized changing of the form or signing of documents has not been faster and easier. Different technologies are used to signed hundred of thousands of documents.
Digital signature is as like paper based signature. This is as like the electronic fingerprint. No change can be possible in the document after signing. Public Key Infrastructure technology is used behind the digital signature. The digital signature can not be copied and can not be changed because PKI technology guarantees data integrity and non-repudiation. Digital signature is the result of an operation that is called cryptographic operation. Because of this operation, a digital signature cannot be tampered or altered.
Electronic signatures only represent a person and it is only the image of handwritten signature, voiceprint, and etc. It can be copied or changed easily.

The difference between the digital signature and electronic signature is that digital signature can not be copied and electronic signature can be copied. Digital signature is as like the coded message and is unique to both document and signer. With digital signature technology any change to the document will make the document invalid. Digital signatures ensure that signatures are identical and unique. It finishes the need of hardware token and also provides the private keys and stores it in a secure appliance. It is simple to use and very easy to develop

A shorter, and perhaps more shallow, but still "to-the-point" answer, would be... No. That's the whole idea behind digital signatures; Strict security. The digital signature certificate is a unique key that cannot be copied or replicated so easily.
