Spire.PDF allows getting and verifying a specific signature in a PDF file, now starts from version 3.8.82, Spire.PDF supports to get all certificates in a PDF signature. In this article, we will show you the steps of how to achieve this task by using Spire.PDF.
For demonstration, we used a template PDF file which contains two certificates:
Code snippets:
Step 1: Instantiate a PdfDocument object and load the PDF file.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile("UPS.pdf");
Step 2: Create a List object.
List<PdfSignature> signatures = new List<PdfSignature>();
Step 3: Get all signatures from the PDF file and add them into the list object.
var form = (PdfFormWidget)doc.Form;
for (int i = 0; i < form.FieldsWidget.Count; ++i)
{
var field = form.FieldsWidget[i] as PdfSignatureFieldWidget;
if (field != null && field.Signature != null)
{
PdfSignature signature = field.Signature;
signatures.Add(signature);
}
}
Step 4: Get the first signature from the list, and then get all the certificates from the signature.
PdfSignature signatureOne = signatures[0]; X509Certificate2Collection collection = signatureOne.Certificates;

doc.LoadFromFile("UPS.pdf");
List<PdfSignature> signatures = new List<PdfSignature>();
var form = (PdfFormWidget)doc.Form;
for (int i = 0; i < form.FieldsWidget.Count; ++i)
{
var field = form.FieldsWidget[i] as PdfSignatureFieldWidget;
if (field != null && field.Signature != null)
{
PdfSignature signature = field.Signature;
signatures.Add(signature);
}
}
PdfSignature signatureOne = signatures[0];
X509Certificate2Collection collection = signatureOne.Certificates;
foreach (var certificate in collection)
{
Console.WriteLine(certificate.Subject);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
