There are still written signatures and impressed seals for printed
output.  But they now want digital signatures on anything electronic.

This is awesome!  Takes PKCS#12 (my free Thawte cert should do the trick
IIRC), command line and GUI versions.  Outstanding!

I'm going to see if it works with files created with PDF Creator under
Windows, as well as my native pdflatex (LyX) and PDF (OpenOffice) output
as well under Linux.  I'll throw some different PDF versions (1.4+) at
it to see how it handles it too.

Thanx Hank!  I owe you one if this works!
