Description
Saves and signs the current PDF.On success you either get back the PDF as container value (in memory PDF) or it returns OK after writing PDF to file (file based PDF).
The plugin also renders a JPEG for preview and includes it within the container value (with DynaPDF Pro).
Same as DynaPDF.SaveAndSignFile, but the signing is done by MBS plugin itself instead of DynaPDF. You pass the PKCS#12 key and certificate by reference number. This way we can support more keys than DynaPDF directly, e.g. with 2048 or 4096 bits.
See Plugin.SetPreviewSize to control size of preview picture.
See also SaveAndSignFileExt function in DynaPDF manual.
