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

loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')

* Use a digital certificate and private key from a PFX file (.pfx or .p12).
lcPfxPath = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pfx/acme.pfx"
lcPfxPassword = "test123"

loCert = CreateObject('Chilkat.Cert')
lnSuccess = loCert.LoadPfxFile(lcPfxPath,lcPfxPassword)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loCert.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Tell the crypt component to use this cert.
lnSuccess = loCrypt.SetSigningCert(loCert)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The CadesEnabled property applies to all methods that create PKCS7 signatures. 
* To create a CAdES-BES signature, set this property equal to true. 
loCrypt.CadesEnabled = 1

* We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7s as output:
lcInFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pdf/sample.pdf"
lcSigFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/p7s/sample.p7s"

* Create the detached CAdES-BES signature:
lnSuccess = loCrypt.CreateP7S(lcInFile,lcSigFile)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnSuccess = loCrypt.VerifyP7S(lcInFile,lcSigFile)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loCert
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success!"

RELEASE loCrypt
