PDF Tools

MyPDFSigner is a simple tool to digitally sign PDF documents using tokens stored in a PKCS#11 security device (a smart card, like a citizen card issued by many governments in Europe), or a PKCS#12 file (a *.pfx or *.p12 file). It is the ideal tool for users that do not want to buy Adobe Acrobat and are unable to sign PDF documents with the free Adobe Reader. PDF documents signed by MyPDFSigner are correctly displayed by Adobe Reader.

The Windows version of MyPDFSigner also supports the Windows Certificate Store. This means it can use any "Personal" certificate in the Windows Certificate Store to digitally sign a PDF document.

MyPDFSigner also provides a command line interface and thus can be integrated in a automated batch process and be part of a PDF creation workflow.

Features:

• Available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
• Unlicensed version allows signing, but without "Local" and "Reason" attributes.
• Licensed version adds "Local" and "Reason" attributes to signing plus authoring PDF metadata.
