Hi ! The most important question in return to your question is :
What do you want to achieve ? Legal intentions or just a green checkmark to make the user feel secure ? First is very compex and heavily depends on the legal environment.Even here in the european community the regulations are very differnt from country to country. And you may end up with a CA that isn't even recognized by Adobe Reader by default. If you just care about a successful verification by the Reader, look for the CAs recognized by the Reader and choose one. My quick guess : Verisign isn't the cheapest ;-) Greetings Andreas ________________________________ From: "msilverbo...@cfglife.com" <msilverbo...@cfglife.com> To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wed, May 5, 2010 10:38:19 PM Subject: [iText-questions] Certificate vendors for digital signatures Hi All, We have purchased a Verisign class 3 certificate to develop an electronic signature solution for PDFs produced from online insurance applications using iText. We were planning to purchase a verisign code-signing certificate (class 1) for production use, but we've been surprised to find that the class 3 cert we bought for development was issued by a Verisign CA that is not automatically trusted by Adobe Reader. Verisign's sales staff was not very knowledgeable about the products they resell. Does anyone have any recommendations for a certificate authority or type of certificate product to purchase for use with a web application that digitally signs PDFs? We've been underwhelmed by Verisign's support so far (contact only by email) and would love to hear of other vendors who developers have had good experiences with.
