(Excel) Create CMS Signed File (PDF) with Multiple Signing Certificates

Demonstrates how to sign a file by adding multiple signatures (multiple certificates). This example signs a PDF file to produce an output file that is a CMS signature wrapping the original PDF. (Note: This is different than modifying a PDF by injecting a signature into the PDF file format.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

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