(C# UWP/WinRT) Get PDF DSS (Document Security Store)

See more PDF Signatures Examples

This example demonstrates how to extract the information from a PDF's DSS (Document Security Store), if a /DSS exists. (Just because a PDF is signed does not mean a /DSS will exists. In fact, the /DSS is typically created at the point of adding the 2nd or greater signature because the /DSS contains LTV (long term validation) information about the previous signature at the time of adding an additional signature.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.85 or greater.

Chilkat.Pdf pdf = new Chilkat.Pdf();

bool success = pdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/sign_testing_1/helloSigned2.pdf");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pdf.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.JsonObject json = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
json.EmitCompact = false;

success = pdf.GetDss(json);
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit());

// The document security store contains certificates, OCSP responses, and CRLs.
// The following JSON is a sample of what the /DSS can contain.
// Unfortunately, our sample contains /Certs and /OCSPs, but no /CRLs.
// It's no problem because whatever JSON you get back, you can use the
// following online tool to generate code to parse.
