Description

Saves and signs the current PDF with dialog to pick certificate.
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).

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.
Use DynaPDF.SaveAndSignFile for cross platform signing.

Examples

Save and sign a PDF after you assembled it:

Set Variable [ $PDFData ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.SaveAndSignFileWinCrypt"; $pdf; "C:\Users\Christian\Desktop\test_cert.pfx"; "123456") ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.Release"; $pdf) ]
# Put in Container
Set Field [ Create Text::PDF ; $PDFData ]
