using (var signer = new PdfDocumentSigner("Document.pdf"))
{
    //Create a PKCS#7 signature:
    Pkcs7Signer pkcs7Signature = new Pkcs7Signer("Signing Documents//testcert.pfx", "123", HashAlgorithmType.SHA256);

    //Apply a signature to the 'Sign' form field:
    var signatureBuilder = new PdfSignatureBuilder(pkcs7Signature, "Sign");

    //Specify the signature's image and signer information:
    signatureBuilder.SetImageData(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("Signing Documents//Jane Cooper.jpg"));
    signatureBuilder.Location = "USA";
    signatureBuilder.Name = "Jane Cooper";
    signatureBuilder.Reason = "I Agree";

    //Sign and save the document:
    signer.SaveDocument("SignedDocument.pdf", signatureBuilder);
}
