Convert PDF to pdf.p7s (Digitally Signed)

See more CAdES Examples

Demonstrates how to convert a PDF into a .p7s file that contains the PDF within a PKCS7 signature (the .p7s format). Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------
    // Note: This is case where the .p7s extension is used where the .p7m extension
    // is technically more appropriate.
    // See .p7s vs .p7m file extension

        print("\(cert.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Tell the crypt component to use this cert.

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

    crypt.hashAlgorithm = "sha256"

    // We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7s as output.
    // The .p7s contains the signature and also embeds the data of the file that is signed.
    var inFile: String? = "qa_data/pdf/sample.pdf"
    var p7sFile: String? = "qa_output/sample.pdf.p7s"

    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Also see Chilkat's online tool to examine a .p7m and generate code to duplicate the .p7m
    // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // Create the CAdES-BES attached signature, which contains the original data.
    // Note: Chilkat's function naming is not accurate.  CreateP7M creates a PKCS7 signature where the signed file
    // is contained within the signature.  CreateP7S creates a detached PKCS7 signature where the signed file
    // is NOT contained within the signature.  We want the data to be contained in the signature, therefore
    // we call CreateP7M even though we are naming our output file .p7s.
    success = crypt.createP7M(inPath: inFile, p7mPath: p7sFile)
