Very surprised reading the following sentence : "Signing PDFs should be done by a public-private key pair that was created for signing documents."
Signing operation (PDF document or whatever you want) is a two steps operation : hash & encrypt. And for that, the only crypto element you need is a private key. One other point : do you think "HTTPS certificates" really exist ?

Although it may be possible to sign a PDF using an HTTPS certificate (after all, it's also a pair of public and private keys), it is usually not done. Signing PDFs should be done by a public-private key pair that was created for signing documents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions iText(R) is a registered trademark of 1T3XT BVBA.
