About Sign PDF (Test Cert)

Sign PDF appends a real PKCS#7 detached signature to the document. With a configured production certificate (DSC, eMudhra, Aadhaar e-Sign), signatures validate against trust anchors. Without one, a persistent self-signed identity is used — the signature is cryptographically valid but does not chain to a public root.

Signatures are verifiable in Adobe Acrobat, Foxit, and any PKCS#7-aware reader.
