TrySaveAs(String)

Attempt to save the PdfDocument to a file.

Declaration

public bool TrySaveAs(string FileName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	FileName	File Path

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	}`true` if the file was saved successfully. `false` if an error occurred (e.g. file was locked or insufficient permissions).

VerifyPdfSignatures()

Verifies all the PDF signatures for this PDF document and returns true if there are no invalid signatures.

Declaration

public bool VerifyPdfSignatures()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if all digital signatures for this PDF document are currently valid. Editing a PDF document in any way will invalidate signatures.

VerifyPdfSignaturesInFile(String)

Verifies all the PDF signatures for a PDF file (by file path) and returns true if there are no invalid signatures.

Declaration

public static bool VerifyPdfSignaturesInFile(string PdfFilePath)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	PdfFilePath	The full or relative PDF file path.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if all digital signatures for the PDF document are currently valid. Editing a PDF document in any way will invalidate signatures.
