When the person who signs a document and has his signature preceded by p.p. it means that he has been given the authority to sign the document on behalf of someone higher in the hierarchy.

p.p. Secretary's Signature

President's Name

or

President's Name

p.p. Secretary's Signature

Commonly in practice, an alternative form is used:

Secretary's Signature

p.p. President's Name
