Is it possible/has anyone used QuickPDF to sign pdfs with a certificate stored on a hardware security module (HSM), like the CDS certificates from GlobalSign or Entrust?

Hi Lopaka,

as far as i know the pdf signing with QuickPDF is based on software-solution and not any hardware.

Try the advanced search functionality (top, right) with "pdf sign"...

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo,

Thank you very much for your response! Unfortunately, the advanced search only turned up one topic that seemed relevant: a question about using .pfx format instead of .pem format for signing, which did not have an answer. The library suits most of my needs, but it is difficult to test it for the purpose of mass pdf-signing with an HSM without actually having the HSM handy and I can't find it in the documentation to tell if it has that functionality. I think that may be my answer.

Thank you again!
