Digital Signatures

The process of applying a digital signature to a PDF document begins by importing an existing PDF file.

To apply a digital signature, use the signDigitalSignature method. This method requires specifying the file path to the digital certificate and providing the necessary password for signing the document. Additionally, you can include other information such as the reason for signing and the location.

Once the digital signature has been applied, export the signed PDF document using the saveAs method. This version of the document is now securely signed.

For more details on using this method with IronPDF, you can visit IronPDF's digital signature documentation on their website.
