Sign document with XAdES Digital signature Leave feedback

Note

This feature is supported only for Spreadsheet document types

GroupDocs.Signature provides DigitalSignOptions class to specify different amount of settings for Digital signature same as property XAdES of XAdES enumeration type. This property specifies the implementation of XAdES format for Spreadsheet documents only (for now).

Here are the steps to add XAdES type signature into document with GroupDocs.Signature:

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter.
• Instantiate the DigitalSignOptions object with required certificate and its password.
• Set property XAdESType to value XAdES
• Call Sign method of  Signature class instance and pass DigitalSignOptions to it.
• Analyze SignResult result to check newly created signatures if needed.

This example shows how to add Digital signature to document. See SignResult

using (Signature signature = new Signature("sample.xlsx"))
{
    DigitalSignOptions options = new DigitalSignOptions("certificate.pfx")
    {
        // set XAdES type
        XAdESType = XAdESType.XAdES,
        // certificate password
        Password = "1234567890",
        // digital certificate details
        Reason = "Sign",
        Contact = "JohnSmith",
        Location = "Office1"
    };
    SignResult signResult = signature.Sign(outputFilePath, options);
}
