The following file path specification for function signfile() will result in an errorcode 2 "pdf-file not found":
 
AFilePath := 'E:\Users\j.düvel\AppData\Local\test.pdf';
 
AQuickPDF.SignFile(AFilePath,...)
 
We have to create this path from the environment variable %USERPROFILE%, so we have no control over what username has been choosen.
 
Is there a solution for this problem?

AFilePath := 'E:\Users\j.düvel\AppData\local\test.pdf'

sorry - now way, giving up!
Anyway, the problem should be the dot, so use this as example:

AFilePath := 'E:\users\j.duevel\AppData\local\test.pdf';

You need to encode your string with UTF-8 encoding if it uses any unicode characters.

var
 FileNameW: WideString;
 FileNameA: AnsiString;
begin
 FileNameW := WideString('C:\unicode') + WideChar(20081) +
WideString('\test.pdf');
 FileNameA := Utf8Encode(FileNameW);
 QP.SaveToFile(FileNameA);
end;
