PreSales q: Signing documents

Aspose.Total Product Family
1

We need to sign a document that it’s stored on a web site. The web site will read user’s digital certificate (through activeX ? ) and , with a click of a button, will sign a specific word/excel/adobe based the on certificate being read. Also, the program should be able to show who has signed it and when. There would be multiple signatures on the same document..

We use A.D. Cerification services

The documents will be stored in Sharepoint 2013 - the program (web part) will be run in Sharepoint.

Hi,


Thanks for your inquiry. You can sign Doc/Docx by using Aspose.Words. Please use the DigitalSignatureUtil.Sign method to Sign source document (Doc/Docx) using given digital signature and writes signed document to destination file.

DigitalSignatureUtil.Sign Method (String, String, X509Certificate2, String, DateTime)

Parameters
srcStream
Stream with document being signed.
dstStream
Stream that signed document will be written to.
certificate
Certificate object used to sign file. Certificate MUST contain private keys.

Moreover, the DigitalSignature class represents a digital signature on a document and the result of its verification. Please read the members of this class from here:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/DigitalSignature+Members

Following code example shows how to validate each signature in a document and display basic information about the signature.


// Load the document which contains
signature.<o:p></o:p>

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Document.Signed.docx");

foreach (DigitalSignature signature in doc.DigitalSignatures)

{

Console.WriteLine("*** Signature Found ***");

Console.WriteLine("Is valid: " + signature.IsValid);

Console.WriteLine("Reason for signing: " + signature.Comments); // This property is available in MS Word documents only.

Console.WriteLine("Signature type: " + signature.SignatureType.ToString());

Console.WriteLine("Time of signing: " + signature.SignTime);

Console.WriteLine("Subject name: " + signature.Certificate.SubjectName.ToString());

Console.WriteLine("Issuer name: " + signature.Certificate.IssuerName.Name);

Console.WriteLine();

}
