# PDFVerify Class The PDFVerify class verifies PDF signatures. ## Syntax ```text PDFVerify ``` ## Remarks The PDFVerify class verifies electronic signatures over PDF documents. Basic Adobe and PAdES signatures are supported. PDFVerify validates each signature from two perspectives: the integrity and validity of the signature (i.e., its correspondence to the document data it covers), and the validity and trustworthiness of the signing certificate chain. These two signature aspects are generally independent of each other - the signature may be valid but the chain may not be trusted, or the chain may be trusted but the integrity of the signature may be violated. Under normal circumstances, both the signature **and** the chain must be valid for the signature to be considered good. ### Preparing the Validation To initiate the validation, first provide the signed PDF document as a file ([InputFile](#inputfile-property-pdfverify-class)), byte array ([InputData](#inputdata-property-pdfverify-class)), or stream ([SetInputStream](#setinputstream-method-pdfverify-class)). Then adjust any chain validation parameters as necessary (please see the [Chain Validation Setup](#chain-validation-setup) section for more details) and call [Verify](#verify-method-pdfverify-class). For every signature in the document, PDFVerify fires the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-pdfverify-class) event, allowing you to specify whether you want the class to validate the signature, the chain, or both. Once [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-pdfverify-class) returns, PDFVerify proceeds to the signature validation routine in accordance with the provided settings. ### Validation Results Upon completion of the validation, the [SignatureProcessed](#signatureprocessed-event-pdfverify-class) event is fired, and the validation results are published here as well as in the following fields of the associated [PDFSignature](#pdfsignature-type) object: - [ValidationResult](#PDFSignature_f_ValidationResult) contains the outcome of the signature validation: valid, corrupted, the signing certificate was missing, or failed. - [ChainValidationResult](#PDFSignature_f_ChainValidationResult) contains the primary result of the chain validation routine: valid, valid but untrusted, invalid, or undefined. - [ChainValidationDetails](#PDFSignature_f_ChainValidationDetails) provides the details of the factors that contributed to the chain validation result, such as an outdated certificate, a missing CRL, or a missing CA certificate. Other information about the signature can be accessed using the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) property. ### Checking Signature Coverage The PDF format uses incremental updates to introduce changes to the document. This implies that a signature may not cover the whole document, but rather a certain revision of it. Strictly speaking, every signature in a PDF document, apart from potentially the last one, covers just some part of the document. In most cases, that part matches the revision of the document that existed before all the subsequent signatures were added. Because of these specifics of the PDF format, it is crucially important to understand which part of the document is covered by a specific signature. Use the [CoverageEndsAt](#PDFSignature_f_CoverageEndsAt) field of the associated [PDFSignature](#pdfsignature-type) object to establish the scope of a signature. The revision of the document covered by that specific signature ranges from byte *0* to [CoverageEndsAt](#PDFSignature_f_CoverageEndsAt). Alternatively, you can use the [GetSignedVersion](#getsignedversion-method-pdfverify-class) method to extract the signed revision to a file. ### Chain Validation Setup Chain validation is a sophisticated, multifaceted procedure that involves a lot of variables. Depending on the configuration of your operating environment, the specifics of the PKI framework being used, and the validation policy you need to follow, you may want to adjust your chain validation parameters to best fit your requirements. A summary of these parameters is given below. NOTE: These parameters apply to [Sign](PDFSign.md#PDFSign_m_Sign) and [Update](PDFSign.md#PDFSign_m_Update) in PDFSign as well as [Verify](#verify-method-pdfverify-class) in PDFVerify, as all three methods execute the chain validation procedure (if it is enabled). **Validation Policy** The [ValidationPolicy](#validationpolicy-property-pdfverify-class) property dictates how thoroughly the chain is validated. It includes options to control which checks the class performs, allowing you to tailor the validation process to meet your specific security needs. For example, if it is not essential to check each certificate's revocation status, set this property to *vpFullNoRevocation*. **Revocation** The revocation aspect of chain validation is controlled by the [RevocationCheck](#revocationcheck-property-pdfverify-class) property, which allows you to choose between and prioritize revocation origins. NOTE: OCSP sources are often preferred to CRL endpoints because of their real-time capability and the smaller size of the responses they produce. **Trust** The trust aspect of chain validation is controlled by the [TrustSources](#trustsources-property-pdfverify-class) property, which allows you to specify the locations in which the class searches for trust anchors. Local system stores, your own trusted root certificates (through the [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) property), and Trusted Lists (through the [TrustedLists](#trustedlists-property-pdfverify-class) property) are all supported. **Offline Mode** The [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-pdfverify-class) property provides the ability to sign or verify the document without contacting online sources. If this property is enabled, the class only uses [KnownCerts](#knowncerts-property-pdfverify-class), [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class), data structures within the document, and revocation and Trusted List data that it previously saved to its internal cache when looking for missing validation material. ## Property List *The following is the full list of the properties of the class with short descriptions.

Use [SaveAttachment](#saveattachment-method-pdfverify-class) to save attachments from this collection. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFPDFAttachment](#pdfattachment-type) # BlockedCerts Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The certificates that must be rejected as trust anchors. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFList* GetBlockedCerts(); int SetBlockedCerts(SecurePDFList* val); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to supply a list of compromised or blocked certificates to the class. Note that any chain containing a blocked certificate will fail validation. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFCertificate](#certificate-type) # DecryptionCert Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The decryption certificate. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFCertificate* GetDecryptionCert(); int SetDecryptionCert(SecurePDFCertificate* val); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to provide the certificate used for decryption. Note that this certificate must have a private key associated with it. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFCertificate](#certificate-type) # DocumentCerts Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A collection of certificates read from the document during processing. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFList* GetDocumentCerts(); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to access all certificates encountered during document processing and embedded into the signature(s). When signing or verifying, this collection is populated automatically during chain validation. This property is read-only and not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFCertificate](#certificate-type) # Firewall Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A set of properties related to firewall access. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFFirewall* GetFirewall(); int SetFirewall(SecurePDFFirewall* val); ``` ## Remarks This is a [Firewall](#firewall-type)-type property, which contains fields describing the firewall through which the class will attempt to connect. ## Data Type [SecurePDFFirewall](#firewall-type) # InputData Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A byte array containing the PDF document to process. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetInputData(char* &lpInputData, int &lenInputData);int SetInputData(const char* lpInputData, int lenInputData); Unicode (Windows) INT GetInputData(LPSTR &lpInputData, INT &lenInputData);INT SetInputData(LPCSTR lpInputData, INT lenInputData); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to assign a byte array containing the PDF document to be processed. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type Byte Array # InputFile Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The PDF file to process. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetInputFile();int SetInputFile(const char* lpszInputFile); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetInputFile();INT SetInputFile(LPCWSTR lpszInputFile); ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks This property is used to provide a path to the PDF document to be processed. ## Data Type String # KnownCerts Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A collection of additional certificates for chain validation. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFList* GetKnownCerts(); int SetKnownCerts(SecurePDFList* val); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to supply a list of additional certificates to the class that might be needed for chain validation. For instance, intermediary CA certificates may be absent from the standard system locations (or there may be no standard system locations) and therefore should be supplied to the class manually. The purpose of this certificate collection is roughly equivalent to that of the Intermediate Certification Authorities system store in Windows. NOTE: Do not add trust anchors or root certificates to this collection; add them to [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) instead. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFCertificate](#certificate-type) # OfflineMode Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Whether the class is operating in offline mode. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetOfflineMode();int SetOfflineMode(int bOfflineMode); Unicode (Windows) BOOL GetOfflineMode();INT SetOfflineMode(BOOL bOfflineMode); ``` ## Default Value FALSE ## Remarks This property indicates whether the class should operate in offline mode. In offline mode, the class restricts itself from accessing online Trusted Lists and revocation information sources such as CRLs or OCSP responders. It may be useful to set this property to *true* if there is a need to verify the completeness of the validation information included within the signature or provided via [KnownCerts](#knowncerts-property-pdfverify-class). ## Data Type Boolean # OutputData Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A byte array containing the PDF document after processing. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetOutputData(char* &lpOutputData, int &lenOutputData); Unicode (Windows) INT GetOutputData(LPSTR &lpOutputData, INT &lenOutputData); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to read the byte array containing the produced output after the operation has completed. It is only set if an output file and output stream have not been assigned via [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class) and [SetOutputStream](#setoutputstream-method-pdfverify-class) respectively. This property is read-only and not available at design time. ## Data Type Byte Array # OutputFile Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The path to a local file where the output is written. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetOutputFile();int SetOutputFile(const char* lpszOutputFile); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetOutputFile();INT SetOutputFile(LPCWSTR lpszOutputFile); ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks This property is used to provide a path where the resulting PDF document is saved after the operation has completed. ## Data Type String # Overwrite Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Whether the class should overwrite files. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetOverwrite();int SetOverwrite(int bOverwrite); Unicode (Windows) BOOL GetOverwrite();INT SetOverwrite(BOOL bOverwrite); ``` ## Default Value FALSE ## Remarks This property indicates whether the class overwrites [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class). If set to *false*, an error is thrown whenever [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class) exists before an operation. ## Data Type Boolean # Password Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The password to decrypt the document with. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetPassword();int SetPassword(const char* lpszPassword); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetPassword();INT SetPassword(LPCWSTR lpszPassword); ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks This property is used to provide the user password for decryption. Though it may be different from [OwnerPassword](#OwnerPassword), most implementations use the same value for both. ## Data Type String # Proxy Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A set of properties related to proxy access. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFProxy* GetProxy(); int SetProxy(SecurePDFProxy* val); ``` ## Remarks This property contains fields describing the proxy through which the class will attempt to connect. ## Data Type [SecurePDFProxy](#proxy-type) # RevocationCheck Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The kind(s) of revocation check to perform for all chain certificates. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetRevocationCheck();int SetRevocationCheck(int iRevocationCheck); Unicode (Windows) INT GetRevocationCheck();INT SetRevocationCheck(INT iRevocationCheck); ``` ## Possible Values ```text RC_ALL_CRL(0), RC_ALL_OCSP(1), RC_ALL_CRLAND_OCSP(2), RC_ANY_CRL(3), RC_ANY_OCSP(4), RC_ANY_CRLOR_OCSP(5), RC_ANY_OCSPOR_CRL(6) ``` ## Default Value 6 ## Remarks This property is used to specify the revocation sources and preferences the class uses during chain validation. Revocation checking is necessary to ensure the integrity of the chain and to obtain up-to-date certificate validity and trust information. Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) responses serve the same purpose of ensuring that the certificate has not been revoked by the Certificate Authority (CA) at the time of use. Depending on the circumstances and security policy requirements, either one or both of the revocation information source types may be used. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (rcAllCRL) | All provided CRL endpoints are checked, and all checks must succeed. | | 1 (rcAllOCSP) | All provided OCSP endpoints are checked, and all checks must succeed. | | 2 (rcAllCRLAndOCSP) | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints are checked, and all checks must succeed. | | 3 (rcAnyCRL) | All provided CRL endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed. | | 4 (rcAnyOCSP) | All provided OCSP endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed. | | 5 (rcAnyCRLOrOCSP) | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed. CRL endpoints are checked first. | | 6 (rcAnyOCSPOrCRL - default) | All provided CRL and OCSP endpoints are checked, and at least one check must succeed. OCSP endpoints are checked first. | This property controls the way revocation checks are performed for every certificate in the chain. Typically, certificates come with two types of revocation information sources: CRLs (Certificate Revocation Lists) and OCSP responses. CRLs are static objects periodically published by the CA at some online location. OCSP responders are active online services maintained by the CA that can provide up-to-date information on certificate statuses in near real time. There are some conceptual differences between the two. CRLs are normally larger in size. Their use involves some latency because there is normally a delay between the time at which a certificate was revoked and the time at which the subsequent CRL mentioning that revocation is published. The benefits of CRLs are that the same object can provide statuses for all certificates issued by a particular CA, and that the whole technology is much simpler than OCSP (and thus is supported by more CAs). This property allows the validation course to be adjusted by including or excluding certain types of revocation sources from the validation process. The *rcAnyOCSPOrCRL* setting (give preference to the faster OCSP route and only demand one source to succeed) is a good choice for most typical validation environments. The *rcAll** modes are much stricter, and may be used in scenarios where bulletproof validity information is essential. NOTE: If no CRL or OCSP endpoints are provided by the CA, the revocation check is considered successful. This is because the CA chose not to supply revocation information for its certificates, meaning they are considered irrevocable. NOTE: Within each of the above settings, if any retrieved CRL or OCSP response indicates that the certificate has been revoked, the revocation check fails. ## Data Type Integer # Signatures Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A collection of all the signatures and empty fields found in the document. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFList* GetSignatures(); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to access the details of all the signatures and empty signature fields identified in the document. This property is read-only and not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFPDFSignature](#pdfsignature-type) # TrustedCerts Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A collection of trusted certificates for chain validation. ## Syntax ```text SecurePDFList* GetTrustedCerts(); int SetTrustedCerts(SecurePDFList* val); ``` ## Remarks This property is used to supply a list of trusted certificates to the class that might be needed for chain validation. For instance, root CA certificates may be absent from the standard system locations (or there may be no standard system locations) and therefore should be supplied to the class manually. The purpose of this certificate collection is largely the same as that of the Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities system store. Use this property with extreme care as it directly affects chain verifiability; a wrong certificate added to the list of trusted certificates may result in bad chains being accepted and forged signatures being recognized as genuine. Only add certificates that originate from parties that are known and trusted. This property is not available at design time. ## Data Type [SecurePDFCertificate](#certificate-type) # TrustedLists Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) A list of known Trusted Lists for chain validation. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetTrustedLists();int SetTrustedLists(const char* lpszTrustedLists); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetTrustedLists();INT SetTrustedLists(LPCWSTR lpszTrustedLists); ``` ## Default Value "%EUTL%" ## Remarks This property is used to supply a semicolon-separated list of URLs or paths of known Trusted Lists to the class for chain validation. A Trusted List is an XML document that contains a government-issued list of CAs that have passed regulated compliance checks. When validating the chain, the class consults the Trusted List to establish certificate trust, ensuring that the CA is legitimate and entitled to issue certificates of the kind being checked. The default value is the special *%EUTL%* macro, which, if applicable, instructs the class to check the root certificate against up-to-date versions of the primary EU Trusted Lists from the [EU LOTL](https://ec.europa.eu/tools/lotl/eu-lotl.xml). Custom values can be appended: ```csharp component.TrustedLists = "%EUTL%;http://my.company/tsl;c:\tsls\mytsl.xml"; ``` NOTE: The class caches all Trusted Lists it downloads and uses during chain validation. This cache is shared between class instances within the same process. If this property contains a URL that is also present in the cache, the class retrieves the cached data and reuses it in the current validation. If the data is invalid, the class downloads a fresh Trusted List and adds it to the cache. ## Data Type String # TrustSources Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The trust sources to use during chain validation. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetTrustSources();int SetTrustSources(int iTrustSources); Unicode (Windows) INT GetTrustSources();INT SetTrustSources(INT iTrustSources); ``` ## Possible Values ```text TS_MANUAL(0), TS_LOCAL(1), TS_TRUSTED_LISTS(2), TS_LOCAL_AND_TRUSTED_LISTS(3) ``` ## Default Value 3 ## Remarks This property is used to specify the sources the class uses to establish certificate trust during chain validation. Establishing trust for a particular certificate, when either signing or verifying, involves building a chain up to a valid trust anchor. This trust anchor is a root certificate that typically resides on the local system. If the certificate does not eventually chain up to a valid trust anchor, the chain is considered untrusted and therefore invalid. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (tsManual) | The class consults [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) only. | | 1 (tsLocal) | The class consults local system stores (e.g., Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities) as well as [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class). | | 2 (tsTrustedLists) | The class consults [TrustedLists](#trustedlists-property-pdfverify-class) only. | | 3 (tsLocalAndTrustedLists - default) | The class consults local system stores, [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class), and [TrustedLists](#trustedlists-property-pdfverify-class). | ## Data Type Integer # ValidationFlags Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Additional chain validation settings. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetValidationFlags();int SetValidationFlags(int iValidationFlags); Unicode (Windows) INT GetValidationFlags();INT SetValidationFlags(INT iValidationFlags); ``` ## Default Value 0 ## Remarks This property is used to specify additional settings that affect the overall flow of the chain validation. Its value should be provided as a bitmask of the following flags: | | | | --- | --- | | 0x001 (cvfForceCompleteChainValidationForTrusted) | Perform full chain validation for explicitly trusted intermediary or end-entity certificates. This may be useful when creating signatures to enforce the completeness of the collected revocation information. It often makes sense to omit this flag when validating signatures to reduce validation time and avoid issues with poorly configured environments. | | 0x002 (cvfIgnoreChainLoops) | Currently unsupported. | | 0x004 (cvfIgnoreOCSPNoCheckExtension) | Currently unsupported. | | 0x008 (cvfTolerateMinorChainIssues) | Currently unsupported. | ## Data Type Integer # ValidationPolicy Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The level at which to perform chain validation. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetValidationPolicy();int SetValidationPolicy(int iValidationPolicy); Unicode (Windows) INT GetValidationPolicy();INT SetValidationPolicy(INT iValidationPolicy); ``` ## Possible Values ```text VP_NONE(0), VP_FULL(1), VP_FULL_NO_TRUST(2), VP_FULL_NO_REVOCATION(3), VP_BEST_EFFORT(4) ``` ## Default Value 1 ## Remarks This property is used to specify the overall validation policy the class follows. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (vpNone) | No chain validation is attempted at all. | | 1 (vpFull - default) | Revocation and trust checks must succeed for all chains. | | 2 (vpFullNoTrust) | Revocation checks must succeed, but trust checks will not occur. | | 3 (vpFullNoRevocation) | Trust checks must succeed, but revocation checks will not occur. | | 4 (vpBestEffort) | Currently unsupported. | ### Validation Policy Heuristics The choice of validation policy depends on the scenario for which the chain is validated. **Creating a new signature:** - For a basic signature with or without a timestamp, chain validation is not required, so it is recommended to use *vpNone*. This policy may also be used in test environments or on offline systems. - For an LTV signature, use *vpFull* or *vpFullNoTrust* depending on whether trust checks are necessary in the current environment. If the signature is being created in an environment that does not match the prospective validation environment, consider *vpFullNoTrust* to validate the chain properly and fully without expecting good trust. **Updating or extending an existing signature:** - When updating a basic signature to LTV, similarly use *vpFull* or *vpFullNoTrust* as above. - When extending an LTV signature, similarly use *vpFull* or *vpFullNoTrust* as above. **Validating an existing signature:** - For basic signature validation, use *vpFullNoRevocation* if trust checks, but not revocation checks, are necessary in the current environment. This policy may also be used on offline systems if the trust anchor is already available to the class. - For archival validation, use *vpFull* to validate the chain properly and fully. This policy expects the trust anchor and all the revocation material to be available. ## Data Type Integer # ValidationTime Property ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The time point at which the signature should be validated. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetValidationTime();int SetValidationTime(const char* lpszValidationTime); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetValidationTime();INT SetValidationTime(LPCWSTR lpszValidationTime); ``` ## Default Value "" ## Remarks This property is used to specify the moment in time at which the signature validity should be established. The time should be provided in UTC in *yyyyMMddHHmmssZ* format. Leave this property empty to stick to the default time point. The class then prioritizes: - The signature creation time if the signature contains a signature timestamp ([ValidatedSigningTime](#PDFSignature_f_ValidatedSigningTime)), or - The local time included in the signature by the signer ([ClaimedSigningTime](#PDFSignature_f_ClaimedSigningTime)). NOTE: The validity of the same signature may differ depending on the time point chosen due to temporal changes in chain validities, revocation statuses, and timestamp times. ## Data Type String # Close Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Closes the opened document. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Close(); Unicode (Windows) INT Close(); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to close the previously opened document. It should always be preceded by a call to [Open](#open-method-pdfverify-class). **Example:** ```csharp component.InputFile = "input.pdf"; component.Open(); // Some operation component.Close(); ``` If any changes are made to the document, they are saved automatically to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class), [OutputData](#outputdata-property-pdfverify-class), or the stream set in [SetOutputStream](#setoutputstream-method-pdfverify-class) when this method is called. To configure this saving behavior, set [SaveChanges](#SaveChanges). ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # Config Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Sets or retrieves a configuration setting. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString); ``` ## Remarks Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#config-settings-pdfverify-class) for the class. These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the Config method. To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter). To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#config-settings-pdfverify-class), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. # Encrypted Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Checks whether the document is encrypted. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) bool Encrypted(); Unicode (Windows) bool Encrypted(); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to determine whether the document is encrypted. It returns *false* if the document is pseudo-encrypted with an empty password. **Example:** ```csharp component.InputFile = "input.pdf"; if (component.Encrypted()) { // Set Password or DecryptionCert } component.Open(); // Some operation component.Close(); ``` NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. # GetPageProperty Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Returns the value of a page property. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) char* GetPageProperty(int iPageIndex, const char* lpszPageProperty); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetPageProperty(INT iPageIndex, LPCWSTR lpszPageProperty); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to obtain general information about the pages of the document, such as their dimensions and content positioning details. *PageIndex* specifies the page to read information about (with a valid range from *0* to *PageCount - 1*), and *PageProperty* specifies the page property to read. Possible values are: | Page property | Default value | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | CropLowerLeftX | 0 | The lower-left X coordinate of the page crop area in points. | | CropLowerLeftY | 0 | The lower-left Y coordinate of the page crop area in points. | | CropUpperRightX | 0 | The upper-right X coordinate of the page crop area in points. | | CropUpperRightY | 0 | The upper-right Y coordinate of the page crop area in points. | | Height | 0 | The height of the page in points. | | MediaLowerLeftX | 0 | The lower-left X coordinate of the page media area in points. | | MediaLowerLeftY | 0 | The lower-left Y coordinate of the page media area in points. | | MediaUpperRightX | 0 | The upper-right X coordinate of the page media area in points. | | MediaUpperRightY | 0 | The upper-right Y coordinate of the page media area in points. | | Rotation | 0 | The rotation angle of the page in degrees clockwise. Supported values: 0, 90, 180, 270. | | Width | 0 | The width of the page in points. | **Example:** ```csharp int pageCount = 0; component.OnDocumentInfo += (s, e) => { pageCount = e.PageCount; }; component.InputFile = "input.pdf"; component.Open(); for (int i = 0; i < pageCount; i++) component.GetPageProperty(i, "Height"); component.Close(); ``` The page properties can be used to adjust the position of the signature widget based on the page dimensions. For example: ```csharp int x = int.Parse(pdfsign.GetPageProperty(0, "Width")) - 100; int y = int.Parse(pdfsign.GetPageProperty(0, "Height")) - 100; pdfsign.SetWidgetProperty("OffsetX", x.ToString()); pdfsign.SetWidgetProperty("OffsetY", y.ToString()); ``` NOTE: Each page property is only populated once the document has been loaded, which is reported by the [DocumentInfo](#documentinfo-event-pdfverify-class) event. NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. # GetSignedVersion Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Returns the part of the signed document that is covered by a signature. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetSignedVersion(int iSignatureIndex); Unicode (Windows) INT GetSignedVersion(INT iSignatureIndex); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to obtain the revision of the document that is covered by a signature. *SignatureIndex* is the index of the signature of interest in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. **Example:** ```csharp pdfverify.InputFile = "signed.pdf"; pdfverify.OutputFile = "revision0.pdf"; pdfverify.GetSignedVersion(0); ``` PDF documents often use an incremental update approach, with any changes being appended to the document without altering the existing revision. This may lead to situations where a signature only covers part of the document (one of the past revisions), but not subsequent changes. This method provides a means to extract the revision that is actually certified by the signature. It is recommended to use this method when validating signatures to make sure the signature covers the byte range it is expected to cover. An alternative to this method is to check the [CoverageEndsAt](#PDFSignature_f_CoverageEndsAt) field of the signature object and match it to the document length. NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # Interrupt Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Interrupts the current action. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Interrupt(); Unicode (Windows) INT Interrupt(); ``` ## Remarks This method interrupts the current action. It can be used, for example, within the [ChainCert](#chaincert-event-pdfverify-class) event to abort the chain validation procedure. If there is no action in progress, this method simply returns, doing nothing. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # Open Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Opens the document for processing. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Open(); Unicode (Windows) INT Open(); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to open the document specified in [InputFile](#inputfile-property-pdfverify-class), [InputData](#inputdata-property-pdfverify-class), or [SetInputStream](#setinputstream-method-pdfverify-class) before performing some operation on it, such as verifying or removing signatures. When finished, call [Close](#close-method-pdfverify-class) to complete or discard the operation. It is recommended to use this method (alongside [Close](#close-method-pdfverify-class)) when performing multiple operations on the document at once. NOTE: This method populates the [Attachments](#attachments-property-pdfverify-class), [DocumentCerts](#documentcerts-property-pdfverify-class), and [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collections with any corresponding objects found in the document. ### Automatic Decryption Functionality If this method is called on an encrypted document, the [Password](#password-event-pdfverify-class) or [RecipientInfo](#recipientinfo-event-pdfverify-class) event fires (depending on the encryption type) as a notification that the document must be decrypted before processing can continue. Once the correct decryption material is supplied, the class then attempts to decrypt the document automatically within this method. When this occurs, the decrypted content is kept in memory so that the document's encrypted status is preserved when it is saved later. Use [Decrypt](PDFDecrypt.md#PDFDecrypt_m_Decrypt) to save a decrypted copy of the document instead. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # Reset Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Resets the class. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Reset(); Unicode (Windows) INT Reset(); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to reset the class's properties and configuration settings to their default values. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # SaveAttachment Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Saves a PDF attachment to a file. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int SaveAttachment(int iIndex, const char* lpszFileName); Unicode (Windows) INT SaveAttachment(INT iIndex, LPCWSTR lpszFileName); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to retrieve the contents of an attachment from the document and save it to a file. It does not modify the contents of the [Attachments](#attachments-property-pdfverify-class) collection. *Index* is the index of the attachment in the [Attachments](#attachments-property-pdfverify-class) collection to be saved. *FileName* specifies the filename that the attachment will be saved to. **Example:** ```csharp component.InputFile = "input_with_attachment.pdf"; component.Open(); component.SaveAttachment(0, "a.dat"); component.Close(); ``` **Example (saving to a stream):** ```csharp component.InputFile = "input_with_attachment.pdf"; component.Attachments[0].OutputStream = myStream; component.SaveAttachment(0, null); // null means use the OutputStream field if it's set ``` NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # SetInputStream Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Sets the stream containing the PDF document to process. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int SetInputStream(SecurePDFStream* sInputStream); Unicode (Windows) INT SetInputStream(SecurePDFStream* sInputStream); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to set the stream from which the class reads the PDF document to be processed. If an input stream is set before the class attempts to perform operations on the document, the class reads the data from the input stream instead of from the [InputFile](#inputfile-property-pdfverify-class) or [InputData](#inputdata-property-pdfverify-class) properties. NOTE: It may be useful to additionally set [CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing](#CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing) to *true* when using input streams. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # SetOutputStream Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Sets the stream to write the processed document to. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int SetOutputStream(SecurePDFStream* sOutputStream); Unicode (Windows) INT SetOutputStream(SecurePDFStream* sOutputStream); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to set the stream to which the class writes the resulting PDF document. If an output stream is set before the class attempts to perform operations on the document, the class writes the data to the output stream instead of writing to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class) or populating [OutputData](#outputdata-property-pdfverify-class). NOTE: It may be useful to additionally set [CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing](#CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing) to *true* when using output streams. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # Signed Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Checks whether the document is signed. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) bool Signed(); Unicode (Windows) bool Signed(); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to determine whether the document is signed. It returns *false* if the document contains only empty signature fields. **Example:** ```csharp pdfverify.InputFile = "input.pdf"; if (pdfverify.Signed()) { // Configure validation-related properties as desired pdfverify.Verify(); } ``` NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a Boolean value; after it returns, call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain its result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. # Unsign Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Removes a signature from the document. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Unsign(int iSignatureIndex, int iUnsignKind); Unicode (Windows) INT Unsign(INT iSignatureIndex, INT iUnsignKind); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to remove an existing signature from the document. *SignatureIndex* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection to be removed. *UnsignKind* specifies the kind of unsign to perform. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (uskFull) | Remove the signature fully. | | 1 (uskKeepField) | Remove the signature, but keep the form field it is in. | | 2 (uskKeepAppearance) | Remove the signature, but keep the form field and its widget. | **Example:** ```csharp pdfverify.InputFile = "signed.pdf"; pdfverify.OutputFile = "unsigned.pdf"; pdfverify.Open(); int idx = pdfverify.Signatures.Count - 1; pdfverify.Unsign(idx, 0); // uskFull pdfverify.Close(); ``` Note that unsigning is different from [GetSignedVersion](#getsignedversion-method-pdfverify-class). The latter returns the revision of the document **including** the mentioned signature (thus removing anything after that signature was created). Unsign removes the signature completely by carving it out of the document. NOTE: *SignatureIndex* set to *-1* removes all signatures in the document. NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # Verify Method ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Verifies the signed document. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) int Verify(); Unicode (Windows) INT Verify(); ``` ## Remarks This method is used to validate all signatures in the document. This method walks through the signed document and reports every signature via the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-pdfverify-class) event. Subscribe to the event to be notified about the signatures and adjust validation settings on the fly. Upon completion of this method, the signature details will be published in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) property. **Example:** ```csharp pdfverify.InputFile = "signed.pdf"; pdfverify.Verify(); PDFSignature signature = pdfverify.Signatures[0]; if (signature.ValidationResult == SignatureValidationResults.svrValid) Console.WriteLine("Signature is good"); if (signature.ChainValidationResult == ChainValidationResults.cvrValid) Console.WriteLine("Chain is good"); ``` This method only validates the signatures and does not check their coverage. It is a good idea to use mechanisms such as [GetSignedVersion](#getsignedversion-method-pdfverify-class) or [CoverageEndsAt](#PDFSignature_f_CoverageEndsAt) to ensure that the signature covers the expected document revision. To control individual signature validation, subscribe to the [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-pdfverify-class) event and set the *ValidateSignature* and *ValidateChain* parameters accordingly. The results are reported via the [SignatureProcessed](#signatureprocessed-event-pdfverify-class) event. Use the following properties to adjust chain validation parameters: - [BlockedCerts](#blockedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) - [KnownCerts](#knowncerts-property-pdfverify-class) - [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-pdfverify-class) - [RevocationCheck](#revocationcheck-property-pdfverify-class) - [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) - [TrustedLists](#trustedlists-property-pdfverify-class) - [TrustSources](#trustsources-property-pdfverify-class) - [ValidationFlags](#validationflags-property-pdfverify-class) - [ValidationPolicy](#validationpolicy-property-pdfverify-class) - [ValidationTime](#validationtime-property-pdfverify-class) NOTE: If the document is not already opened, this method opens it, performs the operation, then closes it. ## Error Handling (C++) This method returns a result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the *GetLastErrorCode()* method after it returns.) # ChainCert Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired when the class encounters a chain certificate. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireChainCert(PDFVerifyChainCertEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *CertEncoded; int lenCertEncoded; const char *CertSubject; const char *CertIssuer; const char *ValidationTime; int ValidationResult; int ValidationDetails; int reserved; } PDFVerifyChainCertEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireChainCert(PDFVerifyChainCertEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCSTR CertEncoded; INT lenCertEncoded; LPCWSTR CertSubject; LPCWSTR CertIssuer; LPCWSTR ValidationTime; INT ValidationResult; INT ValidationDetails; INT reserved; } PDFVerifyChainCertEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired once for each certificate encountered during chain validation to report that it is about to be processed. The class tries to retrieve all required chain certificates automatically. *CertEncoded* specifies the PEM (Base64-encoded) public certificate. *CertSubject* and *CertIssuer* specify the distinguished names of the certificate owner and issuer respectively. *ValidationTime* specifies the time point (in UTC) at which the certificate validity was established. *ValidationResult* reports the outcome of the individual certificate validation and can be one of the following values: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (cvrUnknown - default) | Certificate validity is unknown. | | 1 (cvrValid) | The certificate is valid. | | 2 (cvrValidButUntrusted) | The certificate is valid but not trusted. | | 3 (cvrInvalid) | The certificate is not valid (it is revoked, expired, or contains an invalid signature). | | 4 (cvrCantBeEstablished) | The validity of the certificate cannot be established because of missing or unavailable validation information (certificates, CRLs, or OCSP responses). | In the case of a failure, *ValidationDetails* provides more details on its reasons. Its value is a bitmask of the following flags: | | | | --- | --- | | 0x001 (cvdRevoked) | The certificate is revoked. | | 0x002 (cvdExpiredOrNotYetValid) | The certificate is expired or not yet valid. | | 0x004 (cvdUnknownCA) | A CA certificate for the certificate has not been found, is not trusted, or has a wrong public key (chain incomplete). | | 0x008 (cvdPolicyViolated) | One of the CA certificates is not authorized to act as a CA, a mandatory key usage is not enabled, or a weak algorithm is used in the certificate. | | 0x010 (cvdRevocationCheckFailed) | One or more CRLs or OCSP responses could not be verified. | | 0x020 (cvdBlocked) | The certificate is blocked. | | 0x040 (cvdFailure) | General validation failure. | ### Overridable Chain Validation While the class follows the validation rules defined by the X.509 standard to the best of its ability, minor technical issues may arise when validating the chain. The *ValidationResult* and *ValidationDetails* parameters can be overridden to relax such requirements on a per-certificate basis. For example, set *ValidationResult* to *cvrValid* and *ValidationDetails* to *0* in order to: - Ignore CA or TLS key usage requirements - Ignore the AuthorityKeyId extension in certificate-issuing CAs (helps with incorrectly renewed certificates) - Ignore the Basic Constraints or Name Constraints extensions of CA certificates - Tolerate some weaker algorithms - Implicitly trust self-signed certificates - Skip validity period checks for trusted certificates (helps with older devices that have expired root certificates) - Ignore chain loops (helps with buggy CAs that include subchains that sign themselves) Based on the adjusted validity of the certificate that is currently being processed, the class continues or aborts the chain validation procedure accordingly as if it had arrived at the chosen validation result itself. NOTE: The user code is ultimately responsible for certificate validity decisions made via these two parameters. If their values are modified within this event, the resulting chain validation procedure may deviate from the standard. # DocumentInfo Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired when the document has been loaded into memory. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireDocumentInfo(PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventParams *e); typedef struct { int PageCount; int SignatureCount; int reserved; } PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireDocumentInfo(PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventParams *e); typedef struct { INT PageCount; INT SignatureCount; INT reserved; } PDFVerifyDocumentInfoEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired once per document processing routine to report that the document has been processed and loaded into memory. The handler for this event is a good place to check the document structure and access document-related information such as page number and document file details. These may be useful when preparing the signature. For example, [GetPageProperty](#getpageproperty-method-pdfverify-class) can be used to find the optimal position for the signature widget. *PageCount* reports the number of pages in the document. *SignatureCount* reports the number of signatures in the document. This event is fired when [Open](#open-method-pdfverify-class) is called, but only after [Password](#password-event-pdfverify-class) or [RecipientInfo](#recipientinfo-event-pdfverify-class) is fired (if applicable) and the document has been decrypted. # Error Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireError(PDFVerifyErrorEventParams *e); typedef struct { int ErrorCode; const char *Description; int reserved; } PDFVerifyErrorEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireError(PDFVerifyErrorEventParams *e); typedef struct { INT ErrorCode; LPCWSTR Description; INT reserved; } PDFVerifyErrorEventParams; ``` ## Remarks The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error. The *ErrorCode* parameter contains an error code, and the *Description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#trappable-errors-pdfverify-class) section. # Log Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired once for each log message. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireLog(PDFVerifyLogEventParams *e); typedef struct { int LogLevel; const char *Message; const char *LogType; int reserved; } PDFVerifyLogEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireLog(PDFVerifyLogEventParams *e); typedef struct { INT LogLevel; LPCWSTR Message; LPCWSTR LogType; INT reserved; } PDFVerifyLogEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the [LogLevel](#LogLevel) configuration setting. *LogLevel* indicates the detail level of the message. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (None) | No messages are logged. | | 1 (Info - default) | Informational events such as the basics of the chain validation procedure are logged. | | 2 (Verbose) | Detailed data such as HTTP requests are logged. | | 3 (Debug) | Debug data including the full chain validation procedure are logged. | *Message* is the log message. *LogType* identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are: - CertValidator - Font - HTTP - PDFInvalidSignature - PDFRevocationInfo - Timestamp - TSL # Password Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired when the class detects that the document is encrypted with a password. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FirePassword(PDFVerifyPasswordEventParams *e); typedef struct { int Available; int Cancel; int reserved; } PDFVerifyPasswordEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FirePassword(PDFVerifyPasswordEventParams *e); typedef struct { BOOL Available; BOOL Cancel; INT reserved; } PDFVerifyPasswordEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired during document processing to report that the document is encrypted with a password. It may be used to supply the correct decryption password to [Password](#password-property-pdfverify-class). *Available* indicates whether the decryption password is already available to the class or still needs to be set. If this parameter is *false*, the correct password must be provided for the decryption attempt to succeed. *Cancel* determines whether the class will stop firing this event to request a password. # RecipientInfo Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired for each recipient certificate of the encrypted document. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireRecipientInfo(PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *Issuer; const char *SerialNumber; const char *SubjectKeyIdentifier; int Available; int Cancel; int reserved; } PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireRecipientInfo(PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR Issuer; LPCWSTR SerialNumber; LPCWSTR SubjectKeyIdentifier; BOOL Available; BOOL Cancel; INT reserved; } PDFVerifyRecipientInfoEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired during document processing for each recipient certificate that the document has been encrypted for (if applicable). It may be used to identify the certificate(s) to load and supply to [DecryptionCert](#decryptioncert-property-pdfverify-class). *Issuer* specifies the subject of the issuer certificate. *SerialNumber* specifies the serial number of the encryption certificate. *SubjectKeyIdentifier* specifies the X.509 subjectKeyIdentifier extension value of the encryption certificate, encoded as a hex string. *Available* indicates whether the decryption certificate is already available to the class or still needs to be set. If this parameter is *false*, the correct certificate must be provided for the decryption attempt to succeed. *Cancel* determines whether the class will stop firing this event to request a certificate. NOTE: The document may be encrypted with more than one certificate (or have "more than one recipient"), in which case each certificate causes its own invocation of this event. # SignatureInfo Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired when the class finds a signature in the document. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSignatureInfo(PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventParams *e); typedef struct { int SignatureIndex; int ValidateSignature; int ValidateChain; int reserved; } PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSignatureInfo(PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventParams *e); typedef struct { INT SignatureIndex; BOOL ValidateSignature; BOOL ValidateChain; INT reserved; } PDFVerifySignatureInfoEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired once for each signature found in the document to report that it is about to be validated. *SignatureIndex* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. *ValidateSignature* and *ValidateChain* determine whether each stage should be included in the validation. They can be overridden to modify the validation policy on a per-signature basis, allowing signatures to be verified individually instead of all at once (via [Verify](#verify-method-pdfverify-class)). To skip validation entirely, set both parameters to *false*. Use the following properties to adjust chain validation parameters: - [BlockedCerts](#blockedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) - [KnownCerts](#knowncerts-property-pdfverify-class) - [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-pdfverify-class) - [RevocationCheck](#revocationcheck-property-pdfverify-class) - [TrustedCerts](#trustedcerts-property-pdfverify-class) - [TrustedLists](#trustedlists-property-pdfverify-class) - [TrustSources](#trustsources-property-pdfverify-class) - [ValidationFlags](#validationflags-property-pdfverify-class) - [ValidationPolicy](#validationpolicy-property-pdfverify-class) - [ValidationTime](#validationtime-property-pdfverify-class) # SignatureProcessed Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired after a signature has been processed. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSignatureProcessed(PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventParams *e); typedef struct { int SignatureIndex; int SignatureValidationResult; int ChainValidationResult; int ChainValidationDetails; int reserved; } PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSignatureProcessed(PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventParams *e); typedef struct { INT SignatureIndex; INT SignatureValidationResult; INT ChainValidationResult; INT ChainValidationDetails; INT reserved; } PDFVerifySignatureProcessedEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired once for each signature found in the document to report that it has completed validation. It is fired after [SignatureInfo](#signatureinfo-event-pdfverify-class) if that event's *ValidateSignature* parameter is set to *true*. *SignatureIndex* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. Signature validation consists of two independent stages: cryptographic signature validation and chain validation. Separate validation results are reported for each in *SignatureValidationResult* and *ChainValidationResult*.

It only applies if the TSA, CRL, OCSP, or Trusted List endpoint operates over HTTPS. During this event, the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process. *Accept* is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue. When *Accept* is *false*, *Status* shows why the verification failed (otherwise, *Status* contains the string *OK*). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting *Accept* to *true*. # SSLStatus Event ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) Fired when secure connection progress messages are available. ## Syntax ```text ANSI (Cross Platform) virtual int FireSSLStatus(PDFVerifySSLStatusEventParams *e); typedef struct { const char *Message; int reserved; } PDFVerifySSLStatusEventParams; Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLStatus(PDFVerifySSLStatusEventParams *e); typedef struct { LPCWSTR Message; INT reserved; } PDFVerifySSLStatusEventParams; ``` ## Remarks This event is fired during timestamping or chain validation for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the SSL/TLS connection. It only applies if the TSA, CRL, OCSP, or Trusted List endpoint operates over HTTPS. # Certificate Type This is the digital certificate being used. ## Syntax *SecurePDFCertificate* (declared in *securepdf.h*) ## Remarks This type describes the current digital certificate.

To use a security key, create a new [Certificate](#certificate-type) object and pass cstPKCS11 as the [StoreType](#Certificate_f_StoreType), the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL as the [Store](#Certificate_f_Store), and the PIN as the [StorePassword](#Certificate_f_StorePassword). Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (without CertMgr): Alternatively, collect the necessary data using the [CertMgr](CertMgr.md#CertMgr) class by calling the [ListStoreCertificates](CertMgr.md#CertMgr_m_ListStoreCertificates) method after setting the corresponding properties accordingly. The certificate information returned in the [CertList](CertMgr.md#CertMgr_e_CertList) event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use. When using a certificate obtained with this approach, pass the previously saved security key information as the [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) and set [StorePassword](#Certificate_f_StorePassword) to the PIN. Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key (with CertMgr): | | 99 (cstAuto) | The store type is automatically detected from the input data.

The value of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags) is a combination of the following flags: | | | | --- | --- | | 0x80 | Digital Signature | | 0x40 | Non-Repudiation | | 0x20 | Key Encipherment | | 0x10 | Data Encipherment | | 0x08 | Key Agreement | | 0x04 | Certificate Signing | | 0x02 | CRL Signing | | 0x01 | Encipher Only | Please see the [Usage](#Certificate_f_Usage) field for a text representation of [UsageFlags](#Certificate_f_UsageFlags). This functionality currently is not available when the provider is OpenSSL. **Version** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: ""* The certificate's version number. The possible values are the strings "V1", "V2", and "V3". **Subject** *char** *Default Value: ""* The subject of the certificate used for client authentication. This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject. If a matching certificate is found, the field is set to the full subject of the matching certificate. If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property. If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected. The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store. The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=example@email.com".

This field is used to assign a specific certificate. The [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) and [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) fields also may be used to specify a certificate. When [Encoded](#Certificate_f_Encoded) is set, a search is initiated in the current [Store](#Certificate_f_Store) for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, [Subject](#Certificate_f_Subject) is set to an empty string. ## Constructors ```text Certificate() ``` Creates a instance whose properties can be set. ```text Certificate(const char* lpEncoded, int lenEncoded) ``` Parses * Encoded * as an X.509 public key. ```text Certificate(int iStoreType, const char* lpStore, int lenStore, const char* lpszStorePassword, const char* lpszSubject) ``` * StoreType * identifies the type of certificate store to use. See for descriptions of the different certificate stores. * Store * is a byte array containing the certificate data. * StorePassword * is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the component will attempt to find the certificate identified by * Subject * . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN). The * Subject * parameter can also take an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 thumbprint of the certificate to load in a "Thumbprint=value" format. # Firewall Type The firewall the component will connect through. ## Syntax *SecurePDFFirewall* (declared in *securepdf.h*) ## Remarks When connecting through a firewall, this type is used to specify different properties of the firewall, such as the firewall [Host](#Firewall_f_Host) and the [FirewallType](#Firewall_f_FirewallType).

PDF generators often use incremental updates to make changes in documents. This may result in the signature only covering a part of the document (one of the past revisions), but not the subsequent changes. Use this field to identify the offset where the signature coverage ends. One option is to compare it to the length of the whole document to ensure that the signature covers the entire document. Alternatively, use [GetSignedVersion](#getsignedversion-method-pdfverify-class) to extract the exact revision that was signed. A value of *0* indicates that the class could not determine the coverage offset. **HashAlgorithm** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: "SHA256"* The hash algorithm that was used for signing. Possible values are: - SHA1 - SHA224 - SHA256 - SHA384 - SHA512 - MD5 **Profile** *int (read-only)* *Default Value: 0* The pre-defined PAdES profile that was applied when creating the signature, as defined by ETSI. Advanced signatures come in many variants, and they are often defined by parties that need to process them or by local standards. Profiles are sets of pre-defined configurations that correspond to particular signature variants. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (pfNone - default) | No profile | | 1 (pfBaselineB) | PAdES B-B profile | | 2 (pfBaselineT) | PAdES B-T profile | | 3 (pfBaselineLT) | PAdES B-LT profile | | 4 (pfBaselineLTA) | PAdES B-LTA profile | Note that when verifying a signature, the LTV modifier may be affected by the validation settings. These include [OfflineMode](#offlinemode-property-pdfverify-class) (set it to *true* to obtain the clean LTV capability) and [CacheRevocationInfo](#CacheRevocationInfo) (set it to *false* to prevent earlier validations from affecting the current validation). **Reason** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: ""* The reason for signing. **SignatureType** *int (read-only)* *Default Value: 0* The type of the signature that was created. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (stLegacy - default) | Legacy Adobe signature (adbe.pkcs7.detached) | | 1 (stAdvanced) | PAdES-compliant signature (ETSI.CAdES.detached) | | 2 (stDTS) | Document timestamp (ETSI.RFC3161) | | 3 (stEmptyField) | Empty signature field (signature placeholder) | **SignerCertIndex** *int (read-only)* *Default Value: -1* The index of the signer certificate in the [DocumentCerts](PDFSign.md#PDFSign_p_DocumentCerts) collection. **TimestampCertIndex** *int (read-only)* *Default Value: -1* The index of the timestamping certificate in the [DocumentCerts](PDFSign.md#PDFSign_p_DocumentCerts) collection (if applicable). **Timestamped** *int (read-only)* *Default Value: FALSE* Whether the signature contains an embedded timestamp. **ValidatedSigningTime** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: ""* The certified signing time in UTC. Use this field to obtain the signing time as certified by a timestamp from a trusted timestamping authority. This field is only non-empty if there is a valid timestamp included in the signature. Note that the validated time, unlike [ClaimedSigningTime](#PDFSignature_f_ClaimedSigningTime), is the trusted signing time. **ValidationResult** *int (read-only)* *Default Value: 0* The outcome of the cryptographic signature validation. Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 (svrUnknown - default) | Signature validity is unknown. | | 1 (svrValid) | The signature is valid. | | 2 (svrCorrupted) | The signature is corrupted. | | 3 (svrSignerNotFound) | Failed to acquire the signing certificate. The signature cannot be validated. | | 4 (svrFailure) | General failure. | This field is also available as the *SignatureValidationResult* parameter of the [SignatureProcessed](PDFSign.md#PDFSign_e_SignatureProcessed) event. **WidgetHeight** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: "70"* The height of the signature widget in points. **WidgetOffsetX** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: "0"* The signature widget offset from the left-hand page border in points. **WidgetOffsetY** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: "0"* The signature widget offset from the bottom page border in points. **WidgetPages** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: ""* The pages that the signature and its widget are placed on. **WidgetWidth** *char* (read-only)* *Default Value: "70"* The width of the signature widget in points. ## Constructors ```text PDFSignature() ``` # Proxy Type The proxy the component will connect to. ## Syntax *SecurePDFProxy* (declared in *securepdf.h*) ## Remarks When connecting through a proxy, this type is used to specify different properties of the proxy, such as the [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) and the [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme). The following fields are available: - [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) - [AutoDetect](#Proxy_f_AutoDetect) - [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) - [Port](#Proxy_f_Port) - [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) - [SSL](#Proxy_f_SSL) - [User](#Proxy_f_User) ## Fields **AuthScheme** *int* *Default Value: 0* The type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are set. [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected. By default, [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is authBasic (0), and if the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are set, the class will attempt basic authentication. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used. For security reasons, setting this field will clear the values of [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password). **AutoDetect** *int* *Default Value: FALSE* Whether to automatically detect and use proxy system settings, if available. The default value is *false*. **Password** *char** *Default Value: ""* A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to Basic Authentication, the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form *Basic [encoded-user-password]*. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to Digest Authentication, the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to NTLM Authentication, the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation. **Port** *int* *Default Value: 80* The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the proxy [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) (default 80). See the description of the [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) field for details. **Server** *char** *Default Value: ""* If a proxy [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) is given, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified. If the [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) field is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the [Server](#Proxy_f_Server) field is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned. **SSL** *int* *Default Value: 0* When to use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are as follows: | | | | --- | --- | | psAutomatic (0) | Default setting. If the URL is an https URL, the class will use the psTunnel option. If the URL is an http URL, the class will use the psNever option. | | psAlways (1) | The connection is always SSL-enabled. | | psNever (2) | The connection is not SSL-enabled. | | psTunnel (3) | The connection is made through a tunneling (HTTP) proxy. | **User** *char** *Default Value: ""* A username if authentication is to be used for the proxy. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to Basic Authentication, the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are Base64 encoded and the proxy authentication token will be generated in the form *Basic [encoded-user-password]*. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to Digest Authentication, the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are used to respond to the Digest Authentication challenge from the server. If [AuthScheme](#Proxy_f_AuthScheme) is set to NTLM Authentication, the [User](#Proxy_f_User) and [Password](#Proxy_f_Password) fields are used to authenticate through NTLM negotiation. ## Constructors ```text Proxy() ``` ```text Proxy(const char* lpszServer, int iPort) ``` ```text Proxy(const char* lpszServer, int iPort, const char* lpszUser, const char* lpszPassword) ``` # SecurePDFList Type ## Syntax *SecurePDFList* (declared in *securepdf.h*) ## Remarks *SecurePDFList* is a generic class that is used to hold a collection of objects of type *T*, where *T* is one of the custom types supported by the PDFVerify class. ```text int GetCount() {} ``` ```text int SetCount(int count) {} ``` ```text T* Get(int index) {} ``` ```text T* Set(int index, T* value) {} ``` | | | | --- | --- | | Methods | | | GetCount | This method returns the current size of the collection. | | SetCount | This method sets the size of the collection. This method returns 0 if setting the size was successful; or -1 if the collection is ReadOnly. When adding additional objects to a collection call this method to specify the new size. Increasing the size of the collection preserves existing objects in the collection. | | Get | This method gets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection. This method returns NULL if an invalid index is specified. | | Set | This method sets the item at the specified position. The index parameter specifies the index of the item in the collection that is being set. This method returns -1 if an invalid index is specified. Note: Objects created using the new operator must be freed using the delete operator; they will not be automatically freed by the class. | # SecurePDFStream Type ## Syntax *SecurePDFStream* (declared in *securepdf.h*) ## Remarks The PDFVerify class includes one or more API members that take a stream object as a parameter. To use such API members, create a concrete class that implements the SecurePDFStream interface and pass the PDFVerify class an instance of that concrete class. When implementing the SecurePDFStream interface's properties and methods, they must behave as described below. If the concrete class's implementation does not behave as expected, undefined behavior may occur. ```text bool CanRead() { return true; } ``` ```text bool CanSeek() { return true; } ``` ```text bool CanWrite() { return true; } ``` ```text int64 GetLength() = 0; ``` ```text void Close() {} ``` ```text int Flush() { return 0; } ``` ```text int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0; ``` ```text int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0; ``` ```text int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0; ``` | | | | --- | --- | | Properties | | | CanRead | Whether the stream supports reading. | | CanSeek | Whether the stream supports seeking. | | CanWrite | Whether the stream supports writing. | | Length | Gets the length of the stream, in bytes. | | Methods | | | Close | Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it. This method is called automatically when a SecurePDFStream object is deleted. | | Flush | Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage. Must return 0 if flushing is successful; or -1 if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return 0. | | Read | Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read. Buffer specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream. Must return the total number of bytes read into Buffer; this may be less than Count if that many bytes are not currently available, or 0 if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed. | | Seek | Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin. Offset specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to SeekOrigin. Valid values for SeekOrigin are: 0: Seek from beginning. 1: Seek from current position. 2: Seek from end. Must return the new position within the stream; or -1 if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If -1 is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged. Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an Offset of 0 and a SeekOrigin of 1 to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported. | | Write | Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written. Buffer specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream. Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than Count if that many bytes could not be written. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed. | # Config Settings ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) The class accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used.

Possible values are: | | | | --- | --- | | 0 | Discard all changes. | | 1 | Save the document to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class), [OutputData](#outputdata-property-pdfverify-class), or the stream set in [SetOutputStream](#setoutputstream-method-pdfverify-class), even if it has not been modified. | | 2 (default) | Save the document to [OutputFile](#outputfile-property-pdfverify-class), [OutputData](#outputdata-property-pdfverify-class), or the stream set in [SetOutputStream](#setoutputstream-method-pdfverify-class), but only if it has been modified. | **SignatureAllowedChanges[Index]**: The changes allowed by the signature.This indexed setting returns the scope of further changes to the document allowed by the signature. *Index* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. This setting is read-only. Its value is a bitmask of the following flags: | | | | --- | --- | | 0x001 (PDF_SIGNATURE_ALLOWED_CHANGE_FILL_IN_FORMS) | The signature allows filling in forms. | | 0x002 (PDF_SIGNATURE_ALLOWED_CHANGE_COMMENT) | The signature allows adding comments. | A value of *0* indicates that no changes are allowed. **SignatureData[Index]**: The hex-encoded representation of the underlying PKCS#7/CMS signature container.This indexed setting returns the hex-encoded representation of the underlying PKCS#7/CMS signature container, or the timestamp token for document timestamps. *Index* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. This setting is read-only. **SignatureInvertedLock[Index]**: Whether the locked field list should be treated as containing unlocked fields instead.This indexed setting indicates whether the list returned by [SignatureLockedFields\[Index\]](#SignatureLockedFields[Index]) should be treated in the opposite way, as a list of the only **unlocked** form fields. All other fields that are not present in the list are locked. This setting can only return *true* if an explicit list of field names is returned. *Index* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. This setting is read-only. **SignatureLockedFields[Index]**: The list of form fields that are locked by the signature.This indexed setting returns a list of form fields that are locked for modification by the signature. *Index* is the index of the signature in the [Signatures](#signatures-property-pdfverify-class) collection. This setting is read-only. Depending on the method chosen by the author of the document, this setting may return one of the following values: - A comma-separated list of field names (see also [SignatureInvertedLock\[Index\]](#SignatureInvertedLock[Index])). - An asterisk character (***), to indicate that all the form fields are locked. - An empty string, to indicate that no locking information is provided in the document. **TempPath**: The location where temporary files are stored.This setting specifies an absolute path to the location on disk where temporary files are stored. It can be useful to reduce memory usage. ### Base Config Settings **BuildInfo**: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. **CodePage**: The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

It will return the following information: - Product: The product the license is for. - Product Key: The key the license was generated from. - License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File). - License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server). - Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work. **MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *true* to mask sensitive data. The default is *true*. **ProcessIdleEvents**: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True. **SelectWaitMillis**: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20. **UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *false*, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable. Setting this configuration setting to *true* tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries. On Windows, this setting is set to *false* by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to *true* by default. To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the [OpenSSL Notes](platforms.md) section. # Trappable Errors ([PDFVerify](#pdfverify-class) Class) ## Error Handling (C++) Call the *GetLastErrorCode()* method to obtain the last called method's result code; *0* indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the *GetLastError()* method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. ### PDFVerify Errors | | | | --- | --- | | 802 | HTTP download failed.
