Syncfusion Essential PDF is a .NET Core PDF library used to create, read, and edit PDF documents. Using this library, you can apply one or more digital signature to a PDF document using C# and VB.NET. Steps to apply one or more digital signature to PDF document programmatically:
C# using Syncfusion.Pdf; using Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing; using Syncfusion.Pdf.Security; using Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics;
VB.NET Imports Syncfusion.Pdf Imports Syncfusion.Pdf.Parsing Imports Syncfusion.Pdf.Security Imports Syncfusion.Pdf.Graphics
C# //Load the PDF document
FileStream docStream = new FileStream("SignatureFields.pdf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
PdfLoadedDocument loadedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(docStream);
//Gets the first page of the document
PdfLoadedPage page = loadedDocument.Pages[0] as PdfLoadedPage;
//Gets the first signature field of the PDF document
PdfLoadedSignatureField signatureField1 = loadedDocument.Form.Fields[0] as PdfLoadedSignatureField;
//Creates a certificate
FileStream certificateStream1 = new FileStream("PDF.pfx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
PdfCertificate certificate1 = new PdfCertificate(certificateStream1, "syncfusion");
signatureField1.Signature = new PdfSignature(loadedDocument, page, certificate1, "Signature", signatureField1);
FileStream imageStream = new FileStream("Student Signature.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
//Draw image
PdfBitmap signatureImage = new PdfBitmap(imageStream);
signatureField1.Signature.Appearance.Normal.Graphics.DrawImage(signatureImage, 0, 0, 90, 20);
//Save the document into stream
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
loadedDocument.Save(stream);
//Load the signed PDF document
PdfLoadedDocument signedDocument = new PdfLoadedDocument(stream);
//Load the PDF page
PdfLoadedPage loadedPage = signedDocument.Pages[0] as PdfLoadedPage;
//Gets the first signature field of the PDF document
PdfLoadedSignatureField signatureField2 = signedDocument.Form.Fields[1] as PdfLoadedSignatureField;
signatureField2.Signature = new PdfSignature(signedDocument, loadedPage, certificate1, "Signature", signatureField2);
FileStream imageStream1 = new FileStream("Teacher Signature.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
PdfBitmap signatureImage1 = new PdfBitmap(imageStream1);
//Draw image
signatureField2.Signature.Appearance.Normal.Graphics.DrawImage(signatureImage1, 0, 0, 90, 20);
//Saving the PDF to the MemoryStream
MemoryStream signedStream = new MemoryStream();
signedDocument.Save(signedStream);
//Set the position as '0'.
signedStream.Position = 0;
//Download the PDF document in the browser
FileStreamResult fileStreamResult = new FileStreamResult(signedStream, "application/pdf");
fileStreamResult.FileDownloadName = "DigitalSignatureSample.pdf";
return fileStreamResult;

A complete working sample can be downloaded from DigitalSignatureSample.zip. By executing the program, you will get the PDF document as follows. Take a moment to peruse the documentation, where you can find other options like adding a digital signature using stream, signing an existing document, adding a timestamp in digital signature and features like redacting PDF document and protect PDF document with code examples. An online sample link to digitally sign a PDF document. Refer here to learn more about digitally sign PDF files of Syncfusion Essential PDF. Note: Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion assemblies from trial setup or from the NuGet feed, include a license key in your projects. Refer to link to learn about generating and registering Syncfusion license key in your application to use the components without trail message.

Hi,
This is not working.Signature validity is unknown, Document has not been modified since this signature was applied.
Hi Faisal,
We have analyzed the reported issue “One digital signature becomes invalid while adding multiple digital signature to PDF document” and suspect that the issue may occurs due to using of Trial License. Because while using the trial license, the watermark will be added to the resultant PDF and this will invalidate the existing signature. So kindly run the sample using licensed assemblies and this will results the valid signature document.
