Tilman Hausherr updated PDFBOX-6244:
------------------------------------
Description: Clarify that parsing doesn't check whether any signatures are
verified / valid, and that loading a manipulated / "updated" PDF will not fail
parsing. This applies to certification constraints as well. This behavior is
not a security flaw, it's a missing feature. The ShowSignature example offers a
limited signature check. The gold standard is Adobe Reader. (was: Clarify that
