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

# Load the JSON containing the document to be signed.

# The JSON file should look like this:
# NOTE: The JSON should NOT begin with "{ "documents" : [ ..."

#       {
#          "issuer":{
#             "address":{
#                "branchID":"0",
#                "country":"EG",
#                "regionCity":"Cairo",
#                "postalCode":"",
#                "buildingNumber":"0",
#                "street":"123rd Street",
#                "governate":"GOVERNATE"
#             },
#             "type":"B",
