Digital Signatures in Word

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I have a question regarding the features I’m looking for. We have two scenarios:

  1. Checking for existing digital signatures:
    A Word document is uploaded to our solution (it’s a server side solution)
    We then have to check if it has a digital signature or not
    If it has a digital signature, we have to validate the signature and extract basic info (name etc.) regarding the person who own the signature
  2. Adding signatures to a new Word document:
    The user select a PDF file for signing
    The users existing X509-based certificate is used (the user is queried for a password to use the signature)
    The Word is signed
2

In 2), if ofcourse mean that the user select a Word document for signing :slight_smile:

Hi
Thanks for your request. Unfortunately, Aspose.Words does not support digital signatures for a complete Microsoft Word document now. Aspose.Words will only preserve a digital signature applied to the VBA project (macros) contained in a document.
Best regards.

Any timeline on when digital signatures will be supported?

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-656) have been fixed in this .NET update and this Java update.
