The ISignatureHandler type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AppendData	Adds data to be signed. This data will be the raw serialized byte buffer as the PDF is being saved to any stream.
	CreateSignature	Calculates the actual signature using client implemented signing methods. The returned value (byte array) will be written as the /Contents entry in the signature dictionary.
	GetName	Gets the name of this SignatureHandler. The name of the SignatureHandler is what identifies this SignatureHandler from all others. This name is also added to the PDF as the value of /Filter entry in the signature dictionary.
	Reset	Resets any data appending and signature calculations done so far. This method should allow PDFNet to restart the whole signature calculation process. It is important that when this method is invoked, any data processed with the AppendData method should be discarded.
