Sign PDF in the Cloud using AWS KMS

See more Signing in the Cloud Examples

Demonstrates how to sign a PDF using the AWS Key Management Service. The signing of the hash happens in the Cloud on AWS KMS. Everything else involving the updating the PDF to add the signature happens locally within Chilkat.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.96 or greater.
