Bug ID: 440300
Summary: Digitally sign PDF with a visible hint with an
embedded picture of signature that opens signatures
panel
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: smih...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Signing PDFs digitally became more common in the past two years. Unfortunately,
most people got used to proprietary tools that they already know and now
instead of not accepting digitally signed files (and actually checking the
integrity of the certificate used for signing), a lot of users only check the
visible hint. In most cases people expect that the visible hint should look
similar to one generated by one of Adobe's product (including picture of
signature).
In recent versions of Okular, you can digitally sign a file by drawing a
rectangle where you want to have the visible hint for the electronic signature.
However, it only includes text with the name of the signer and date. This
should be fine for most cases, and I don't want to start a debate on how wrong
is to include a picture of one's signature in documents, but it would be nice
to have an option to include a picture of signature into the visible hint.
