Example

The following example shows how to sign the exported PDF document. Note that in this case the document is signed digitally without applying a visual signature.

View Example: How to Sign the Exported PDF Document

The following code implements the CustomViewerOperationLogger service that inherits the WebDocumentViewerOperationLogger class. The overridden CustomizeExportDocumentOnFinish method signs the exported PDF document with a PKCS#7 signature. The PdfDocumentSigner.SaveDocument methods takes the signature (the SaveDocument(String, PdfSignatureBuilder[]) object) as a parameter and saves the signed document.
