SignerProcess Method

Process a document

Apply document-level processing options without any signature operation. For example:

  • To encrypt or decrypt PDF documents that may be signed (see the samples "Encrypt" and "Decrypt").
  • To remove signatures and unsigned signature fields (see RemoveSignatures).
  • To add validation information to existing signatures (see AddValidationInformation).

Non-critical processing errors raise a Warning. It is recommended to review the WarningCategory and handle them if necessary for the application.
