O.k. i played a bit with it, but as you said "slightly tedious
workaround"... I will use another method, which does not allow an attack
imho. 

I did this in the past with detached signatures, when i posted files,
and it should be used more widely, imho!

Simply one can use a time stamping service, based on blockchain
technology. I can then time stamp the .pdf. and put also a
statement in the .pdf that the file is timestamped and don't must
worry in the future if one MITM would try (and why?) to alter my
documents.
