Hi together!
Is openssl capable of validating and/or extracting PDF signatures? Thanks in advance!

Short answer: No.
Longer answer: The code will perform cryptographic verification, but it doesn't know anything about the structure of PDF documents or how their signatures are put together. Thus, depending on the algorithms in use, it might be be useful as a toolkit to help perform validation -- but it cannot on its own. It was never designed to, and in fact has been developed for longer than PDFs have had signature capability, for purposes other than PDF signatures. -Kyle H On Thu, May 8, 2008 at 1:18 AM, Nardmann, Heiko <heiko.nardmann@...> wrote: > Hi together! > > Is openssl capable of validating and/or extracting PDF signatures? > > Thanks in advance! > > Regards > Heiko Nardmann > ______________________________________________________________________ > OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org > User Support Mailing List openssl-users@... > Automated List Manager majordomo@... > OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@...

You can use iText API (no OpenSSL is reqd) or understand the PDF
dictionaries (Read PDF Public-Key Digital Signature & Encryption Specification)to extract PDF content and the PKCS#7 and then use OpenSSL to verify the signature.
