(.NET Core C#) Validate PDF Signatures

See more PDF Signatures Examples

This example demonstrates how to validate the signatures in a PDF and also shows how to get information from each signature.

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

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

// Load a PDF that has cryptographic signatures to be validated
bool success = pdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/sign_testing_1/helloSigned2.pdf");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(pdf.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Each time we verify a signature, information about the signature is written into
// sigInfo (replacing whatever sigInfo previously contained).
Chilkat.JsonObject sigInfo = new Chilkat.JsonObject();
sigInfo.EmitCompact = false;

// Iterate over each signature and validate each.
int numSignatures = pdf.NumSignatures;
bool validated = false;
int i = 0;
while (i < numSignatures) {
    validated = pdf.VerifySignature(i,sigInfo);
    Debug.WriteLine("Signature " + Convert.ToString(i) + " validated: " + Convert.ToString(validated));
    Debug.WriteLine(sigInfo.Emit());
    i = i + 1;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Finished.");

// When VerifySignature validates a signature, a lot of information is deposited into the JSON sigInfo object.
// The information can vary depending on what was included in the signature (for example, various authenticated attributes
// and unauthenticated attributes may or may not be included).
// Here is a sample of the information you'll see.
