Word Document Digital Signing in C#

Wordize for .NET is a professional solution for digital document signing in Word files using C#. The Signer class provides C# developers with the ability to sign Word documents using electronic signatures and X.509 cryptographic certificates. Programmatic addition of digital signatures ensures document authenticity, protection from unauthorized modifications, and compliance with electronic document management requirements.

Key Features:
  • Digital signing of Word documents - the Signer.Sign() method adds cryptographic signatures using CertificateHolder (container for working with PFX certificates) and X.509 certificates
  • Electronic signature removal - the Signer.RemoveAllSignatures() method removes all digital signatures from Word documents
  • Electronic signature validation for verifying Word document integrity
  • PFX certificate support through CertificateHolder.Create() with password protection for PKI infrastructure (cryptographic key and certificate management system)
  • The SignOptions class manages signature comments, signing time, certificate access password, cryptographic provider identifier, and XML signature level
  • Fluent API support for executing Word document signing operations through SignerContext and method chaining, enhancing C# code readability
Use Cases:
  • Simple electronic signature - basic signing of Word documents for internal corporate processes
  • Advanced electronic signature - protection of financial reports and banking documents from falsification
  • Qualified electronic signature - ensuring legal validity of contracts and official Word documents in electronic document management systems
  • Bulk document signing - automation of Word file signing in electronic document workflow systems
  • Timestamps - adding time stamps to documents for recording signing time and legal significance
  • Regulatory compliance - ensuring Word document authentication and compliance with security standards

Test the capabilities of programmatic Word document signing with digital signatures in the interactive online demo presented on this page.
