I think the correct statement to issue in this case would be that a part ("revision") of the PDF has been signed and to show the validation result for that revision, ideally giving the user a chance to view only the signed part.
This might even be indispensable when there are multiple signatures applied to the document. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740506 Title: verify digital signatures Status in Evince: Confirmed Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: evince This is a feature request to verify digital signatures. I'm receiving more and more digitally signed PDF's and evince already acknowledges them with: Signature Not Verified Digitally signed by <signer> Date: <time stamp> Reason: <reason> Location: <location> but it would be great if Evince would be integrated into the distro's ca-certificate infrastructure to verify these signatures.
