certificate security? what exactly it means? new terminology?

204.sharma 13-Aug-13 7:39am

certificate is a .pfx file. it have a key and other details like contact name,mail id. after attaching this file and a password, our pdf ask for the password when we open pdf file.
i know how to implement this security by adobe reader.but now i want to implement it by code and by using itextsharp dll.

No...this is also a security option as well as password protection.

Probably exactly same feature would not be possible for iTextsharp,but i think digital signature would be an option for security that can be implemented by iTextsharp.
