Try openssl dgst instead, but you need a detached signature for that. If PDF files have a way of encapsulating signed content, you need specialized tools to verify those signatures. -- Viktor. __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing Listopenssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I got only this: Error reading S/MIME message 28968:error:2107A087:PKCS7 routines:SMIME_read_PKCS7:no content type:pk7_mime.c:296 Can someone please help me? Thanks If the *.pkcs7 file is in binary format this would be a starting point: openssl smime -verify -in foo.pkcs7 -content foo.pdf -inform DER -binary that will probably complain about being unable to find the issuer certificate. For testing purposes you can include the -noverify option which will tell you it has otherwise checked the signature. If that works you need to trust the appropriate root CA(s) and pass them to it using the -CAfile or -CApath options. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
