HASH PDF using another algorithm

Hi!

Is it possible to adopt another algorithm to HASH a signed document, as demonstrated in https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/152189/how-to-concatenate-the-signed-hash-to-the-original-pdf ?

I mean, SHA512 is too slow!

Would it also be legal to adopt another algorithm, or, for PDF 1/A-3B (and other long-term patterns), should the SHA512 be required?

Thanks a lot for any tip.

Hi DavidBS,


We can now set the different message digest algorithm to sign PDF document using the DigestAlgorithm enum available in the class PdfSignatureSettings. Please refer the below documentation link,
