[PLUG] PDFs & gpg


Adobe's built in signature system is pretty nice as it places the signature in 
a field in the document that includes the display of the who where and when 
of signing, etc.

In order to sign PDFs that way, you have to have a full version of Acrobat, no 
longer available for Linux.  The reader allows signing, but only with 
documents that have had an "allow signature" bit set.

Does anyone have any info as to how to set this bit using ps2pdf, the 
OpenOffice PDF generator, the kdeprint PDF generator, etc.?

Also, is there a way to sign using my gpg signature instead of the one built 
into Acrobat?
