Quick Start (MTOM): Digitally signing a PDF document using the web service API

The following C# code example digitally signs a PDF document that is based on a PDF file named LoanSig.pdf. The alias that is specified for the security credential is secure, and revocation checking is performed. Because no CRL or OCSP server information is specified, the server information is obtained from the certificate used to digitally sign the PDF document. The signed document is saved as a PDF file named LoanSigned.pdf. (See Digitally Signing PDF Documents.)
