Description
Greetings,
In my work, I sometimes have the need to validate digital signatures in PDF files as, without them, the printed documents show icons or watermarks across text, which void the document altogether.
Unfortunately, I cannot do this in xreader, seeing as such feature is not yet implemented. I end up using Adobe Acrobat Reader for this purpose. However, I prefer xreader, as I find it much simpler, lighter, easier to use and better suited to my taste.
If digital signature validation was possible in xreader, it would be a great addition to an already impressive application.
Cheers.

Research direction
Start by reviewing xreader's existing PDF handling and any current support for digital signatures or validation. Clarify whether the goal includes signing as well as validation, then define the supported signature behavior and verification outcome before identifying the relevant implementation and test locations.
