##----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## This sample demonstrates the basic usage of the high-level digital signatures API in PDFNet.
##
## The following steps reflect typical intended usage of the digital signatures API:
##
##	0.	Start with a PDF with or without form fields in it that one would like to lock (or, one can add a field, see (1)).
##	
##	1.	EITHER: 
##		(a) Call doc.CreateDigitalSignatureField, optionally providing a name. You receive a DigitalSignatureField.
##		-OR-
##		(b) If you didn't just create the digital signature field that you want to sign/certify, find the existing one within the 
##		document by using PDFDoc.DigitalSignatureFieldIterator or by using PDFDoc.GetField to get it by its fully qualified name.
##	
##	2.	Create a signature widget annotation, and pass the DigitalSignatureField that you just created or found. 
##		If you want it to be visible, provide a Rect argument with a non-zero width or height, and don't set the
##		NoView and Hidden flags. [Optionally, add an appearance to the annotation when you wish to sign/certify.]
##		
##	[3. (OPTIONAL) Add digital signature restrictions to the document using the field modification permissions (SetFieldPermissions) 
##		or document modification permissions functions (SetDocumentPermissions) of DigitalSignatureField. These features disallow 
##		certain types of changes to be made to the document without invalidating the cryptographic digital signature once it
##		is signed.]
##		
##	4. 	Call either CertifyOnNextSave or SignOnNextSave. There are three overloads for each one (six total):
##		a.	Taking a PKCS #12 keyfile path and its password
##		b.	Taking a buffer containing a PKCS #12 private keyfile and its password
##		c.	Taking a unique identifier of a signature handler registered with the PDFDoc. This overload is to be used
##			in the following fashion: 
##			i)		Extend and implement a new SignatureHandler. The SignatureHandler will be used to add or 
##					validate/check a digital signature.
##			ii)		Create an instance of the implemented SignatureHandler and register it with PDFDoc with 
##					pdfdoc.AddSignatureHandler(). The method returns a SignatureHandlerId.
##			iii)	Call SignOnNextSaveWithCustomHandler/CertifyOnNextSaveWithCustomHandler with the SignatureHandlerId.
##		NOTE: It is only possible to sign/certify one signature per call to the Save function.
##	
##	5.	Call pdfdoc.Save(). This will also create the digital signature dictionary and write a cryptographic signature to it.
##		IMPORTANT: If there are already signed/certified digital signature(s) in the document, you must save incrementally
##		so as to not invalidate the other signature(s). 
##
## Additional processing can be done before document is signed. For example, UseSignatureHandler() returns an instance
## of SDF dictionary which represents the signature dictionary (or the /V entry of the form field). This can be used to
## add additional information to the signature dictionary (e.g. Name, Reason, Location, etc.).
##
## Although the steps above describes extending the SignatureHandler class, this sample demonstrates the use of
## StdSignatureHandler (a built-in SignatureHandler in PDFNet) to sign a PDF file.
