The plugin also renders a JPEG for preview and includes it within the container value (with DynaPDF Pro).

On Windows you can use WinCrypt with DynaPDF.SaveAndSignFileWinCrypt function and optionally use dialog to pick the certificate with DynaPDF.SaveAndSignFileWinCryptDialog from the certificate store.
