Working with Digital Signature
Adding a digital signature
Essential PDF allows you to add digital signature to the PDF document. In order to add digital signature, you can need a certificate with private keys. Essential PDF provides support for digital signature by using PFX files, Hardware Security Module(HSM), Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and Windows Certificate Store.
The following code example illustrates how to add a digital signature in the PDF document.
//Creates a new PDF document.
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Adds a new page.
PdfPageBase page = document.Pages.Add();
PdfGraphics graphics = page.Graphics;
//Creates a certificate instance from PFX file with private key.
PdfCertificate pdfCert = new PdfCertificate(@"PDF.pfx", "syncfusion");
//Creates a digital signature.
PdfSignature signature = new PdfSignature(document, page, pdfCert, "Signature");
//Sets an image for signature field.
PdfBitmap signatureImage = new PdfBitmap(@"signature.jpg");
//Sets signature information
signature.Bounds = new RectangleF(new PointF(0, 0), signatureImage.PhysicalDimension);
signature.ContactInfo = "johndoe@owned.us";
signature.LocationInfo = "Honolulu, Hawaii";
signature.Reason = "I am author of this document.";
//Draws the signature image.
graphics.DrawImage(signatureImage, 0, 0);
//Saves and closes the document.

}Retrieve certificate details from an existing signed PDF document
The Essential PDF provides support to get the certificate details from an existing signed PDF document such as,
- Signed date
- Expiry date
- Signed name
- Subject name
- Issuer name
- Certificate distinguished names (country, state, street, email, organization, organization unit, locality, and more).
You can get the above certificate details from an existing signed PDF document by using the following code snippet.

//Get the signed name
string name = signatureField.Signature.SignedName;
//Get the certificate names based on their distinguished name.

The Essential PDF supports creating long term signature validation when signing the PDF document. The LTV signature allows you to check the validity of a signature long after the document was signed. To achieve long term validation, all the required elements for signature validation must be embedded in the signed PDF.
Note: The resulted PDF document size will be large, since all the necessary signature information, Certificate Revocation List (CRL), and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) are embedded.
The following code example illustrates how to create LTV PDF.
//Creates a new PDF document.
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Adds a new page.
PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();
PdfGraphics graphics = page.Graphics;
//Creates a certificate instance from PFX file with private key.

The PdfSignatureSettings allows you to add customized digital signatures to the PDF document.
Adding a digital signature with CAdES format
As per the PDF specification 2.0, now Syncfusion PDF library supports digital signature based on CAdES (CMS Advanced Electronics Signature). The CAdES based digital signature can remain valid for long periods, even if underlying cryptographic algorithms are broken. Using the API CryptographicStandard, you can change the standard between CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) and CAdES.
The following code example explains how to add a digital signature with cryptographic standard (CAdES) to the PDF document.
//Creates a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Adds a new page

}Digital signature validation
Added the support to validate the digital signatures in an existing PDF document. Digital signature validation covers the following steps to ensure the validity of the signatures:
- Validate the document modification.
- Validate the certificate chain.
- Ensure the signature with timestamp time.
- Check the revocation status of the certificate with OCSP and CRL.
- Ensure the multiple digital signatures.
You can use the ValidateSignature method available in the PdfLoadedSignatureField class to validate the digital signature.
You can get the overall status from the IsSignatureValid property available in the PdfSignatureValidationResult class.
The following code example explains how to validate the digitally signed PDF document signature.
//Load an existing signed PDF document
PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument("Input.pdf");
//Get signature field
PdfLoadedSignatureField signatureField = loadedDocument.Form.Fields[0] as PdfLoadedSignatureField;
//X509Certificate2Collection to check the signer's identity using root certificates
X509CertificateCollection collection = new X509CertificateCollection();
//Create new X509Certificate2 with the root certificate
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2("PDF.pfx", "syncfusion");
//Add the certificate to the collection
collection.Add(certificate);
//Validate signature and get the validation result
PdfSignatureValidationResult result = signatureField.ValidateSignature(collection);
//Checks whether the signature is valid or not
SignatureStatus status = result.SignatureStatus;
//Checks whether the document is modified or not
bool isModified = result.IsDocumentModified;
//Signature details
string issuerName = signatureField.Signature.Certificate.IssuerName;
DateTime validFrom = signatureField.Signature.Certificate.ValidFrom;
DateTime validTo = signatureField.Signature.Certificate.ValidTo;

loadedDocument.Close(true);Validate all signatures in PDF document
Added the support to validate all the digital signatures in an existing PDF document.
You can use the ValidateSignatures method available in the PdfLoadedFormFieldCollection class to validate all the digital signatures. You can get the list of PdfSignatureValidationResult from ValidateSignatures method.
The following code example explains how to validate all the signatures in digitally signed PDF document.
//Load an existing signed PDF document
PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument("Input.pdf");
//X509Certificate2Collection to check the signer's identity using root certificates
X509CertificateCollection collection = new X509CertificateCollection();
//Create new X509Certificate2 with the root certificate
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2("PDF.pfx", "syncfusion");
//Add the certificate to the collection
collection.Add(certificate);
//Validate all signatures in loaded PDF document and get the list of validation result
List<PdfSignatureValidationResult> results;
bool isValid = loadedDocument.Form.Fields.ValidateSignatures(collection, out results);
//Close the document
loadedDocument.Close(true);'Load an existing signed PDF document
Dim loadedDocument As PdfLoadedDocument = New PdfLoadedDocument("Input.pdf")
'X509Certificate2Collection to check the signer's identity using root certificates
Dim collection As X509CertificateCollection = New X509CertificateCollection()
'Create new X509Certificate2 with the root certificate
Dim certificate As X509Certificate2 = New X509Certificate2("PDF.pfx", "syncfusion")
'Add the certificate to the collection
collection.Add(certificate)
'Validate all signatures in loaded PDF document and get the list of validation result
Dim results As List<PdfSignatureValidationResult>
Dim isValid As Boolean = loadedDocument.Form.Fields.ValidateSignatures(collection, out results)
