Digital signature signing & validation #386
Description
Greetings,
In my work, I sometimes have the need to validate digital signatures in PDF files as, without them, the printed documents show icons or watermarks across text, which void the document altogether.
Unfortunately, I cannot do this in xreader, seeing as such feature is not yet implemented. I end up using Adobe Acrobat Reader for this purpose. However, I prefer xreader, as I find it much simpler, lighter, easier to use and better suited to my taste.
If digital signature validation was possible in xreader, it would be a great addition to an already impressive application.
Cheers.

Hi. Why only validate a digital signature only ? Why not, also, adding a feature to digitally signed PDF ?

Hi, Nokia808. That would also be useful, yes.

Okay. Change the title, if so, into "Digital signature signing & validation" so as to make developer attention go with both aspect & not to forget one ....

xreader is depend on poppler, is it?
maybe this one is related? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16770 (support for digital signature already fixed)

It would be beautiful that xreader can sign and validate digital signs.
Thanks

Still relying on Okular to see digital signs on PDFs.

is it still hard to be implemented even at the AI era?
