<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So, in a weird coincidence to the LTT videos -- I actually need to digitally sign a PDF this week for a legal contract. Not an image of a signature type thing, but a real cryptographic signature.</p> <p>I&#39;ve searched around for information about how to create and install a cert so that Okular will actually do this - and well, my google-fu has failed. I&#39;ve found guides that appear to say how to do this, but they are for other distros that have different directory structures than Arch. I&#39;m not a developer, I&#39;m really not a technical person, so I while I&#39;ve tried to &quot;convert&quot; between the documentation I&#39;ve found and the Arch directory structures, I&#39;ve not succeeded. I really don&#39;t want to go issuing &#39;sudo&#39; commands for openssl stuff for directories I don&#39;t know what they do for privileged directories while guessing if I&#39;m right -- I figure that&#39;s a great way to completely compromise the security of my system.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a simple to follow, correct, step-by-step guide for Arch on how to do this? Or, can someone provide such a guide?</p> <p>The Okular documentation tells me that I need to create a PKCS signing certificate, This barely appears on the Arch wiki at all, and seems to be related to web servers? Which is, frankly, less than useful for my needs. </p> <p>Anyway, thanks in advance for any help!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/kingpatzer"> /u/kingpatzer </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rclase/help_with_signing_a_pdf/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rclase/help_with_signing_a_pdf/">[comments]</a></span>
