Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool check?
This tool performs a structural analysis of a PDF file to detect digital signature markers such as /Sig, /ByteRange, and /SubFilter fields. It checks whether the PDF contains signature dictionaries, not whether the signatures are cryptographically valid.
Can this tool verify if a PDF signature is authentic?
No. Cryptographic verification of PDF signatures requires processing X.509 certificates, CRLs, and PKCS#7 data, which cannot be done reliably in a browser. This tool only detects the presence and count of signature fields in the PDF structure.
What PDF signature types are detected?
The tool looks for common signature sub-filters including adbe.pkcs7.detached, adbe.pkcs7.sha1, adbe.x509.rsa_sha1, and ETSI.CAdES.detached. These cover the most common digital signature formats used in PDF documents.
