    Sign PDF with Timestamp from Timestamp Server Authority

    Sign PDF with Timestamp from Timestamp Server Authority (TSA) with Limagito File Mover version 2023

    In this example we are going to a sign a PDF that is both long-term validation (LTV) enabled and includes a validating timestamp from a Timestamp Server Authority (TSA).

    • As source we are going to use a Windows folder [WIN]:

    • Be sure to only allow .pdf files. Please set the Include Filename Filter:

    • Add ‘SIGN’ as Destination

    • Setup ‘SIGN’ as Destination. The default setup has 5 ‘actions’:

    • Select the first Action ‘Load PDF to be signed’ and an extra tab will appear in the top menu bar. Select this ‘Pdf Load’ tab.

    The default setup here is %SFP%SFN which translates to Source File Path and Source File Name. So in most cases you don’t need to change this.

    • Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Options for PDF signing’ in the Action list and next ‘Pdf Options’ Tab.
    1. Enable ‘Set Signing Certifcate V2 attribute’ (is enabled by default)
    2. Enable ‘Set Signing Time attribute’ (is enabled by default)
    3. Enable ‘Set Long-Term Validation (LTV Enabled)’
    4. Enable ‘Request timestamp froma TSA server’ (Timestamp Server Authority)
    5. Set the URL of the Timestamp server. We used:  http://timestamp.digicert.com
    6. Enable ‘Request TSA server to include its certificate in the timestamp response’
      • Ask the timestamp server to include its certificate in the timestamp token

    • Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Appearance of the PDF signature’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Signature’ Tab.

    We used the ‘Image options’ to add a green check mark at the left side of the signature. We have a couple of built-in graphics available but also a custom JPG is possible.

    • Back to the ‘Setup’ tab and select ‘Load certificate for PDF signing’ in the Action list and ‘Pdf Certificate’ Tab.

    We are using a .pfx file which is a combined certificate and private key file type.

    Url save after file transfer to Google Cloud

    Q: Url save after file transfer to Google Cloud possible with Limagito File Mover?
    I have a question about how to create URL links from Google Cloud. When files are transferred from local storage to GCloud we need to replace the local file with an URL from Gcloud. Can you help us?

    A: In version v2023.0.11.6 we added a new option which makes this possible. This option will create a .url file in the folder where the source file was found (this can be adjusted).  The .url file will work as a shortcut to the file the was uploaded to Google Cloud.

    We added some screenshots to get you started.

    • As source we are using a Windows folder [WIN]:

    Limagito file mover windows folder as source

    • Be sure to exclude *.url filenames because otherwise we would also try to upload the newly created shortcut files (.url) to Google Cloud.

    • In our destination setup, we are using GCloud as Destination. Information about Google Cloud as destination can be found here.

    In the ‘Common’ tab of the GCloud setup you need to enable: ‘Create Shortcut On Success’ which will create the .url file after a successful file transfer to google cloud. The default output path for the shortcut .url file is parameter %SFP which translates as Source File Path.

    • RunTime log result:

    • The following .url file was created:
