Signing encrypted PDF with PKCS1 certificate type fails (Aspose.PDF for .NET)

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,
I am trying to sign encrypted PDF file using PKCS1 certificate type and it fails with an error message:
PKCS#1 does not support ocsp, timestamp settings, use PKCS#7.

I am using PDF Net for C#.
It works when the file is not encrypted.
It works when the PKCS#7 certificate type is selected.
it works in the older versions (e.g version 10).
it doesn’t work in the latest 20.4 version.

Please let me know how can I achieve it?

Thanks.

@Adnan.Ahmad,
Thanks for quick response,

Here is a code that I use for signing PDF:

using (Document srcDocument = new Document(sourcePath))
{
//Encrypt PDF file
using (var fileSecurity = new PdfFileSecurity(srcDocument))
{
fileSecurity.EncryptFile(string.Empty, string.Empty, DocumentPrivilege.ForbidAll, KeySize.x128, Algorithm.RC4);
fileSecurity.Save(encryptPath);
}

using (var encrDocument = new Document(encryptPath))
using (var signature = new PdfFileSignature(encrDocument))
{
	var pkcs1 = new PKCS1(certPath, "password");
	System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 100);

	signature.Sign(1, "SignReason", "SignContact", "SignLocation", true, rect, pkcs1);

	//save output PDF file
	signature.Save(signedPDF);
}

}

And here is the PDF file I’ve used:
Sample.pdf (39.9 KB)
And the certificate:
personal.zip (2.6 KB)
