  • Can't sign pdf documents with Okular in Debian

    From Adriano Vilela Barbosa@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 21 13:40:01 2022
    I'd like to know if anybody can sign pdf documents using Okular in
    Debian as explained in the manual:

    https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/okular/okular/signatures.html

    I've never been able to do this, although I have a PKCS signing
    certificate available at $HOME/.pki/nssdb. In Okular, the menu entry
    "Digitally Sign" under the "Tools" menu is grayed out and the section
    "PDF Digital Signature Certificates" of the PDF backend configuration (https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/okular/okular/config-pdf.html#config-pdf-digital-signatures)
    doesn't exist on my system.

    At the bottom of the page on the first link above there is a note that says:

    "This feature is available for PDF documents only. You need to install
    at least version 21.01 of Poppler to be able to add digital signatures
    to a document."

    I'm running Debian Testing and, until yesterday, the version of
    libpoppler installed on my system was 20.09. Thus, I figured pdf
    signing wasn't available on my system because I didn't have the
    required version of libpoppler. Last night an update came along which
    brought libpoppler from version 20.09 to version 22.02. However,
    nothing changed after the update: I'm still unable to sign pdfs.

    So, I wonder if anybody here is able to sign pdfs using Okular in
    Debian and, if so, what's required to get that working.

    Thanks a lot.

    A rebuild of Okular was needed to enable that functionality and earlier today the above update was done, so it should work with okular version 4:21.12.3-2. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

    Too many dependencies to make a backport? Is it possible?
