Multiple signatures (was: why don't they work ? )



Great job Antonio!
It is a really promising experiment.

I can confirm that your resulting document is correct.

Althoug I'm not an expert of pdf-core internals, I noted some strange 
things within your generated-pdf [3]:

* Within the appended-revision section, there is a dictionary object 
(66 0) with
   /Type/catalog
  What is it for ? It is a dangling (not referenced) object.
* You also re-wrote the field list (object 17 0) even if nothing has 
changed.
  Is it intentional or is it a general side-effect of the IText way-of-
working ?
  Note that, altough this fake change does not invalidate the 
certification-signature,
  it increments the somewhat-misteriuos change counter displayed when 
you look at the detailed changes properties
  ( I am referring to the "N miscellaneous changes" information ("N 
modifiche varie" in Italian) displayed by Acrobat Reader).

I'd like to know more about difficulties and limits of your 
experiment, so please aswer to my last question:

* Will you be able to create a certification-signature (allowing next 
approval-signatures) on a new document ?

Thanks again for your work, I hope to hear you soon.

Aldo
