* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2')

* Use a digital certificate and private key from a PFX file (.pfx or .p12).

    RELEASE loCrypt
    RELEASE loCertStore

* Tell the crypt component to use this cert.
lnSuccess = loCrypt.SetSigningCert(loCert)

* We can sign any type of file, creating a .p7s as output:
lcInFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pdf/sample.pdf"
lcSigFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/p7s/sample.p7s"
