Const Message = "This file was digitally signed with the Windows CryptAPI using a PKCS#12 certificate. It is also possible to use an arbitrary certificate of the user's certificate store. This could be a hardware or software certificate. The CryptAPI function calls are in both cases the same. Nothing special must be considered.\r\rThe appearance of the signature field was created with normal DynaPDF functions. However, it would also be possible to import a PDF page, an EMF file, or an image into the appearance template. When creating an individual signature appearance make sure to place the validation icon properly with PlaceSigFieldValidateIcon(). The appearance of the validation icon depends on the Acrobat version with which the file is opened. However, the unscaled size of that icon is always 100.0 x 100.0 Units. It can be scaled to every size you want but it is usually best to preserve the aspect ratio and the icon must be placed fully inside the appearance template."
