Get PDF DSS (Document Security Store)

See more PDF Signatures Examples

This example demonstrates how to extract the information from a PDF's DSS (Document Security Store), if a /DSS exists. (Just because a PDF is signed does not mean a /DSS will exists. In fact, the /DSS is typically created at the point of adding the 2nd or greater signature because the /DSS contains LTV (long term validation) information about the previous signature at the time of adding an additional signature.)

-- The document security store contains certificates, OCSP responses, and CRLs.
-- The following JSON is a sample of what the /DSS can contain.
-- Unfortunately, our sample contains /Certs and /OCSPs, but no /CRLs.
-- It's no problem because whatever JSON you get back, you can use the
-- following online tool to generate code to parse.
