Quick Start (MTOM): Digitally signing a XFA-based Form using the web service API

The following C# code example signs an interactive form that is rendered by the Forms service. The client application has two service references. The BLOB instance that is associated with the Forms service belongs to the SignInteractiveForm.ServiceReference2 namespace. Likewise, the BLOB instance that is associated with the Signature service belongs to the SignInteractiveForm.ServiceReference1 namespace. The signed interactive form is saved as a PDF file named LoanXFASigned.pdf.
