Verify Pdf hasn't modified after adding signature

[Muhammad Ahmad]

I am using PDF component for adding digital signatures to the pdf document. 

Here is how I am adding the signature

   PdfLoadedDocument document = new PdfLoadedDocument("DigitalSignaturee2.pdf");

            PdfLoadedPage page = document.Pages[0] as PdfLoadedPage;

            //Creates a signature field.

            PdfSignatureField signatureField = new PdfSignatureField(page, "SignatureField");

            signatureField.Bounds = new RectangleF(0, 0, 100, 100);

            signatureField.Signature = new PdfSignature(document, page, new PdfCertificate(@"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\ASP.NET MVC - EJ2\16.3.0.21\App_Data\PDF\PDF.pfx", "syncfusion"), "SignatureField");

            signatureField.Signature.Reason = "I am author of this document";

            document.Form.Fields.Add(signatureField);

            document.Save();

            //Closes the document

            document.Close(true);

I can get the document certificate as of volume 4 release. But how can I verify that document hasn't modified after the signature was added. 

Here is the code for the signature retrieval.

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument("DigitalSignaturee2.pdf");

            //Gets the page of the document

            PdfLoadedPage page1 = loadedDocument.Pages[0] as PdfLoadedPage;

         

            PdfLoadedSignatureField field2 = loadedDocument.Form.Fields[0] as PdfLoadedSignatureField;

         

            //Get PDF Certificate instance from signature field

            PdfCertificate certificate = field2.Signature.Certificate;

            //Get the certificate details

            string subjectName = certificate.SubjectName;

            string issuerName = certificate.IssuerName;

Hi Muhammad, 

Greetings from Syncfusion.
At present, we don’t have a support to validate the digital signature for signed PDF and we have logged feature request. At present we do not have any immediate plan to implement these features. 

The implementation of this feature would greatly depend on the factors such as time complexity and code compatibility. The feature implementation will be available in any of our upcoming release. We will update once the feature has been implemented.

Hi Muhammad, 

 

We glad to announce that the feature “Support for validating digital signatures in existing PDF document” is implemented and it is included in our Essential Studio 2019 Volume 3 Beta release v17.3.0.9. This is rolled out and is available for download under the following link, 

https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/147704/essential-studio-2019-volume-3-beta-release-v17-3-0-9-is-available-for-download  

 

Please find the code snippet to illustrate this from below, 

 

//Load an existing signed PDF document 

PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument("Input.pdf"); 

//Get signature field 

PdfLoadedSignatureField signatureField = loadedDocument.Form.Fields[0] as PdfLoadedSignatureField; 

//X509Certificate2Collection to check the signer's identity using root certificates 

X509CertificateCollection collection = new X509CertificateCollection(); 

//Create new X509Certificate2 with the root certificate 

X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2("PDF.pfx", "syncfusion"); 

//Add the certificate to the collection 

collection.Add(certificate); 

//Validate signature and get the validation result 

PdfSignatureValidationResult result = signatureField.ValidateSignature(collection); 

//Checks whether the signature is valid or not 

SignatureStatus status = result.SignatureStatus; 

//Checks whether the document is modified or not 

bool isModified = result.IsDocumentModified; 

//Signature details 

string issuerName = signatureField.Signature.Certificate.IssuerName; 

DateTime validFrom = signatureField.Signature.Certificate.ValidFrom; 

DateTime validTo = signatureField.Signature.Certificate.ValidTo; 

string signatureAlgorithm = result.SignatureAlgorithm; 

DigestAlgorithm digestAlgorithm = result.DigestAlgorithm; 

//Revocation validation details 

RevocationResult revocationDetails = result.RevocationResult; 

RevocationStatus revocationStatus = revocationDetails.OcspRevocationStatus; 

bool isRevokedCRL = revocationDetails.IsRevokedCRL; 

//Checks whether the signature is valid or not based on the overall validation 

bool isSignatureValid = result.IsSignatureValid; 

//Close the document 

loadedDocument.Close(true); 

 

We thank you for your support and appreciate your patience in waiting for this release. Please get in touch with us if you would require any further assistance.
