Add a document time-stamp

Add a time-stamp to a PDF document with the Pdftools SDK. This type of digital signature provides evidence that a document existed at a specific time, and that the content of the document has not changed since that time.

Built-in cryptographic provider

Use the built-in cryptographic provider with the Pdftools SDK. The built-in provider uses the cryptographic functions of the local operating system and requires no cryptographic hardware or external service.

Certify a PDF document

Digitally certify a PDF document with the Pdftools SDK. This type of signature records the identity of the document author, and allows users to make specific changes to the document, while retaining the validity of the signature.

Cryptographic providers

Cryptographic providers supported by the Pdftools SDK, including the built-in provider, PKCS#11, and online signing services.

GlobalSign cryptographic provider

Use the GlobalSign cryptographic provider with the Pdftools SDK. The GlobalSign provider enables access to the GlobalSign Digital Signing Service to perform cryptographic functions.

PKCS#11 cryptographic provider

Use the PKCS#11 cryptographic provider with the Pdftools SDK. The PKCS#11 provider enables access to a cryptographic device using a PKCS#11 driver module such as a HSM, Cloud KMS, or USB token to perform cryptographic functions.

Sign a PDF document

Digitally sign a PDF document with the Pdftools SDK. This type of digital signature records the identity of the signer, and confirms that the content of the document has not changed after the signature was applied.

Sign PDF documents

Sign PDF documents with the Pdftools SDK. Create, manage, and validate digital signatures using local and online cryptographic providers.

Swisscom cryptographic provider

Use the Swisscom cryptographic provider with the Pdftools SDK. The Swisscom provider enables access to the Swisscom Signing Service to perform cryptographic functions.

Use a time-stamp authority

Learn how to use a time-stamp authority (TSA) to create digital document timestamps with the Pdftools SDK.

Validate signatures in a signed PDF document

Validate signatures in a digitally signed PDF document. Confirm the validity of signing certificates by referencing offline and online sources such as certificates, Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) records and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) records.
