Sign PDF in the Cloud using AWS CloudHSM

Demonstrates how to sign a PDF using AWS CloudHSM. The signing of the hash happens on a hardware token in AWS CloudHSM. Everything else involving the updating the PDF to add the signature happens locally within Chilkat.
Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or greater.
