 | SignerCertify Method |
Add a document certification signature
This type of signature lets you detect rejected changes specified by the author. These signatures are also called Modification Detection and Prevention (MDP) signatures. The allowed permissions are defined by permissions.
The features and format of the signature are defined by the Provider and the configuration.
Non-critical processing errors raise a Warning. It is recommended to review the WarningCategory and handle them if necessary for the application.
