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

loPdf = createobject("CkPdf")

// Load the PDF that has already been signed.
llSuccess = loPdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/helloWorld_signed.pdf")
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loPdf.LastErrorText
    release loPdf
    return
endif

loJson = createobject("CkJsonObject")

loJson.UpdateBool("invisibleSignature",.T.)
loJson.UpdateString("subFilter","/ETSI.RFC3161")

loJson.UpdateBool("timestampToken.enabled",.T.)

// In this example, we'll use a free TSA server (timestamp.digicert.com), but you may want to use your own timestamp authority server.
loJson.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUrl","http://timestamp.digicert.com")

// If the timestamp server requires a username/password, do the following.  Otherwise omit the following few lines of code.
loJson.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaUsername","the_tsa_username")
loJson.UpdateString("timestampToken.tsaPassword","the_tsa_password")

// When requesting the timestamp token, ask the server to include its certificate in the timestamp token response.
// This allows for the timestamp server's certificate to be included in the LTV validation (i.e. if the timestamp server
// has an OCSP URL, then Chilkat will also do the OCSP request for the timestamp server's certificate.)
loJson.UpdateBool("timestampToken.requestTsaCert",.T.)

llSuccess = loPdf.SignPdf(loJson,"c:/temp/qa_output/helloWorld_signed_2.pdf")
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loPdf.LastErrorText
    release loPdf
    release loJson
    return
