-- Set the policy profile name
-- ---------------------------------------------------
-- Note: On 24-May-2024, I was informed that adding the "policyId.profile"
-- causes the PDF signature to fail validation at https://validar.iti.gov.br/
-- Perhaps something changed in the years since this example was originally written and tested to be working.
-- You may need to omit the "policyId.profile".
