# PDFSign
Command line tool for signing PDF Files using itextsharp library
Basic command line tool for signing PDF Files using itextsharp library

## Notes
This is a command line tool that allows signing of pdf files using certificates.
the actual PDF manipulation is performed using the itextsharp library v5.5
This tool was originaly published on [codeplex](https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=pdfsign)


The signing certificate can can either be provided as a pkcs12 file or it can come from
the windows certificate store. In order to use a certificate from the windows store,
the certificate must
- be have the private key marked as exportable
- the user running pdfsign must have read access to the private key

In Addition to nuget packages, the build process uses Microsofts [ILMerge](http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17630)
tool to produce a consolidated single binary including all dlls.

Currently, the signatures created are not LTV capable, i.e they expire with the validity of the signing certificate
