Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Document.Processor

Declaration

C#

public void AddToDss(
    string signatureFieldName,
    IList<byte[]> certificates,
    IList<byte[]> crls,
    IList<byte[]> ocsp
)

VB.NET

Public Sub AddToDss(
    signatureFieldName As String,
    certificates As IList(Of Byte()),
    crls As IList(Of Byte()),
    ocsp As IList(Of Byte())
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
signatureFieldName	String	The name of the form field that contains the target signature.
certificates	IList<Byte[]>	A list of certificates used to create the certificate chain.
crls	IList<Byte[]>	A list of DER-encoded CertificateList ASN.1 objects (rfc5280) that contain the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) for every certificate in the chain (except the root certificate).
ocsp	IList<Byte[]>	A list of DER-encoded OCSPResponse ASN.1 objects (rfc6960) that contain the OCSP server response for every certificate in the chain except root.

Exceptions

Type	Description
ArgumentException	Occurs if the specified form field is not signed.

Remarks

The code sample below retrieves the name of the first signature field, adds the related signature’s information to the DSS, and applies a timestamp to the document.

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
