SignData Property

Whether to sign the PDF.

Data Type

Boolean

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property defines whether the PDF is signed.

If SignData is set to True the PDF will be signed. The following properties are applicable when signing:

• SignatureHashAlgorithm
• SignatureType
• SignExistingFields
• SigningCert
• TimestampServer

When SignData is set to True the adapter uses the certificate set in the SigningCertificate properties to sign the document. SignatureType determines whether to create a standard document signature (default) or a certification (MDP) signature.

If TimestampServer is set to a valid Timestamp server URL the adapter will attempt to timestamp the signature.

The widget itself may be customized in a variety of ways including the type and values of information displayed, as well as its location within the document. The following properties control the most common signature widget values.

• ContactInfo
• Header
