SigShowVisualStatus Property

Specifies whether to show the signature's status icon.

Syntax

bool GetSigShowVisualStatus();
int SetSigShowVisualStatus(bool bSigShowVisualStatus);

Default Value

false

Remarks

Specifies whether to show the signature's status icon.

It is a good idea to avoid using the visual status icon, as described below:

According to the Digital Signature Appearances Adobe Acrobat SDK (May 2015), "Prior to Acrobat 6.0, signature appearances were manipulated at run-time in order to display the validity of the signature. The validity was shown as a graphic icon and with an additional, optional text message. The manipulated portions of the signature appearance were contained in layers n1, n3 and n4. Beginning with version 6, Acrobat does not maintain support for signature appearances that can be manipulated, though legacy signatures with these appearances may continue to display correctly. Use of layers n1, n3, and n4 is not recommended."

This property is not available at design time.
