Work with the Signatures in PDF via .NET SDK
Replace of signatures in PDF documents is necessary in cases where the expiration date of a signature, which is usually issued for one year, or there is a need to confirm the integrity of the document and its legal force after making changes. The need to sign PDF files is due to the need to confirm the author’s authenticity and ensure the legal force of the signature, guarantee that the document has not been changed after signing, and for protection against forgery and unauthorized access. The electronic signature identifies the signer, records the date and time of signing and can be used to verify the document integrity.
