Hi all Funding is all very well, and +1 for the initiative!
But first we'll need to find developers who are willing to take up the task. Is there anyone interested in implementing this (immensely important, believe me!) feature? Can we spur his or her interest with money? Or can we say that allowing this functionality to exist in one closed- source vendor's application alone is tantamount to having your passports checked at the border by a representative of a commercial enterprise, who does not tell you by what criteria it checks the document, bit still is entitled to deny you admission? We did a fundraiser (http://wilhelmtux.ch/?MID=11&PID=96) recently for finishing the implementation of the *signing* part in LibreOffice, which is also in C++ and uses Mozilla NSS. So maybe some of the code can be reused. Most of the original code should be available here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9c8dc01d3a40ec905c9d816c733ceb5d621e0426 Search by author should also work: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=author&q=eraslan As this is still work in progress, please follow https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83940 for updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085526 Title: ubuntu pdf doc viewer will not let me sign a document Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Just updated in last few weeks, i think ubuntu 12.4 To sign the document i have to send it to my neighbors windows computer, open it, sign it, then send it, then I get a note from echo sign that the document was sent with my signature.
