Here's the status assuming that pinvoke on the crypto api is not used:
- .NET 2003 has no access to the windows store, you need wse1 but the
capabilities are minimal.
- .NET 2005 is better but you'll still need wse3 to be able to enumerate
the store and chose a certificate.
- The real problem is how to sign if the private key is not exportable
as in the case of smartcards.
- Using .NET 2005 and wse3 you let windows sign the hash and use
iTextSharp to place that signature in the PDF.
- I didn't have the time yet to make an example.
