At the moment we are evaluating Aspose PDF to digitally sign PDF files. Our client has USB token, he doesn’t have and will not be have pfx file, so we get the certificate from the store (System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store). We tried three different ways to sign PDF by Aspose PDF, but without any result.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
When we use following code:
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(inputDOcFile);
Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfSaveOptions options = new Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfSaveOptions();
options.Compliance = Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfCompliance.PdfA1b;
X509Certificate2 cert = GetCertificate();
options.DigitalSignatureDetails = new Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfDigitalSignatureDetails(cert, "reason", "location",DateTime.Now);
doc.Save(outputPDF, options);
we get following exception:
“Internal error occurred”: at System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.SignedCms.Sign(CmsSigner signer, Boolean silent)

We also tried do it this way:
PdfFileSignature pdfSign = new PdfFileSignature(inputPDF, outputPDF);
System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 100);
X509Certificate2 certificate = GetCertificate();
byte[] pkcs10 = certificate.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx, "password");
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();
BinaryWriter binWriter = new BinaryWriter(memStream);
binWriter.Write(pkcs10);
memStream.Position = 0;
PKCS1 signature = new PKCS1(memStream, "password");
pdfSign.Sign(1, "Signature Reason", "Contact", "Location", false, rect, signature);
pdfSign.Save();
but we get such exception:
“Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index”: at System.Collections.ArrayList.get_Item(Int32 index)

at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileSignature.Save(Stream outputStream)
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileSignature.Save(String outputFile)
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileSignature.Save()
And finally, when we use the same code, but removed PASSWORD parameter:
byte[] pkcs10 = certificate.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx);//, "password");
res = new PKCS1(memStream);//, "password");
and we get following exception:
“Certificate file was not provided”: at Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Forms.SignatureField.Sign(Signature signature)
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileSignature.Save(Stream outputStream)
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileSignature.Save(String outputFile)
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileSignature.Save()
What should we do to make this work?
