WinForms Reports - Apply a Digital Signature When Exporting a Report to PDF

This example creates a report and applies a digital signature when the report is exported to PDF. The XtraReport.ExportOptions.Pdf.SignatureOptions property is used to access and configure digital signature options.

// Specify PDF signature options.
report.ExportOptions.Pdf.SignatureOptions.Reason = "Approved";
report.ExportOptions.Pdf.SignatureOptions.Location = "USA";
// svgImageCollection stores SVG images.
// In this example, it was created and populated at design time.
report.ExportOptions.Pdf.SignatureOptions.ImageSource = new ImageSource(svgImageCollection1["approved"]);
report.ExportOptions.Pdf.SignatureOptions.Certificate = certificate;

The example uses the X509Store class as a local storage for digital certificates.
