I'm not sure the code now is fixed entirely for the adbe.pkcs7.sha1 case
(which BTW anyway isn't the format which should be used): In this case the
byte range must be hashed using SHA1 while the CMS hashing algorithm may be
different. But the current (and also the former) PdfPKCS7 code to me seems
to use the CMS hashing algorithm for calculating both hashes.

As we don't use the adbe.pkcs7.sha1 subfilter here (SHA1 has not been a
valid choice for qualified signatures here for some time), though, I am not
too deep into this use case. Thus, I may be abysmally wrong on this subject.

Regards,   Michael.
