C#

using (var signer = new PdfDocumentSigner(@"signed.pdf"))
{
    ITsaClient tsaClient = new TsaClient(new Uri(@"https://freetsa.org/tsr"), HashAlgorithmType.SHA256);

    string signatureName = signer.GetSignatureFieldNames(false)[0];

   // Create a provider that retrieves certificates from a store:
    using (var certificateStoreProvider =
        new CertificateStoreProvider(new X509Store(StoreLocation.CurrentUser), true))
    {
        // Add the signature to the security store
        // and specify the CrlClient and OcspClient objects
        // used to check the certificates' revocation status:
        signer.AddToDss(signatureName, new CrlClient(), new OcspClient(), certificateStoreProvider);
    }
    signer.SaveDocument(@"signedLTV.pdf", new[] { new PdfSignatureBuilder(new PdfTimeStamp(tsaClient)) });
}

VB.NET

Using signer = New PdfDocumentSigner("signed.pdf")
  Dim tsaClient As ITsaClient = New TsaClient(New Uri("https://freetsa.org/tsr"), HashAlgorithmType.SHA256)

  Dim signatureName As String = signer.GetSignatureFieldNames(False)(0)

  ' Create a provider that retrieves certificates from a store:
  Using certificateStoreProvider = 
      New CertificateStoreProvider(New X509Store(StoreLocation.CurrentUser), True)
    ' Add the signature to the security store
    ' and specify the CrlClient and OcspClient objects
    ' used to check the certificates' revocation status:
    signer.AddToDss(signatureName, New CrlClient(), New OcspClient(), certificateStoreProvider)
  End Using
  signer.SaveDocument("signedLTV.pdf", { New PdfSignatureBuilder(New PdfTimeStamp(tsaClient)) })
End Using
