Dear IText Experts,

What part of the pdf document is signned when I use the
PdfStamper.CreateSignature and the PdfSignatureAppearance.SetCrypto method?

My code is the folowing:
PdfStamper st = PdfStamper.CreateSignature(reader, new
FileStream(this.outputPDF, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write), '\0', null,
true);
            st.MoreInfo = this.metadata.getMetaData();
            st.XmpMetadata = this.metadata.getStreamedMetaData();
            PdfSignatureAppearance sap = st.SignatureAppearance;
            
            sap.SetCrypto(this.myCert.Akp, this.myCert.Chain, null,
PdfSignatureAppearance.WINCER_SIGNED);
...            
            st.Close();

After I signed an existing pdf document I modified some of the bytes
randomly and several times the adobe reader 9 informed me about that all of
the signatures are valid. How did it happend? I looked over the pdf 1.4
documentation and I found that the whole pdf and only a part of the pdf can
be signed as well. When I use the PdfStamper.CreateSignature which part of
the pdf doc will be signed?

Thanks

Tamas
