Simple Usage Demo

This demo shows a simple signature process. The script also includes additional certificates into the signature, which simplify the validation by the recipient.

<?php
// require the OpenSSL signing module
require_once("Signer/Module/OpenSsl.php");

// create an instance
$module = new SetaPDF_Signer_Module_OpenSsl();

// set the properties of the module
$module->setSignCert(file_get_contents('certificate.pem'));
$module->setPrivateKey(array(file_get_contents('private-key.pem'), 'password'));
$module->setExtraCerts(realpath('extra-certs.cer'));

// require the SetaPDF_Signer class
require_once("Signer/SetaPDF_Signer.php");

// create a SetaPDF_Signer object
$signer = SetaPDF_Signer::factory('Example-PDF-1.pdf');

// set some signature properties
$signer->setReason("Just for testing");
$signer->setLocation('www.setasign.de');
$signer->setContactInfo('+49 5361 3099400');

// as we are using extra certs we need to reserve
// a bit more space for the signature content
$signer->setSignatureContentMinLength(5500);

// sign the document and send it to the client
$res = $signer->sign($module, 'signed.pdf', 'D');
if (SetaPDF::isError($res)) // check for errors
    var_dump($res);
