PDF digital signature
I create PDFs using wxPdfDocument. Due to a new law/regulation/certification in Germany I have to find a way to add a digital signature. Is there a way to do this without using some other tool after creating the PDF? I would like to create and sign it in one go without the user of my app having to click some more.
Re: PDF digital signature
Unfortunately, wxPdfDocument doesn't support adding digital signatures to generated PDF documents. And this isn't going to change anytime soon, although I have plans to enhance wxPdfDocument in the course of time. So, for now you will have to use a separate tool to accomplish this.mael15 wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 9:54 am I create PDFs using wxPdfDocument.

Re: PDF digital signature
I suppose you need a component that you can add to your application somehow. Most solutions I know of are commercial - ranging in prices from one-time fees of 500 USD to 3000 USD/year. The open source library PoDoFo claims to support digital signatures, but I haven't tested that for myself.
