MSEDGE "View the details of digital signatures in PDFs" not working
MSEDGE Version: 104.0.1293.70 (Official build) (64-bit) [Windows 10] PDFs tested: common e-invoice certificate-based digital signed PDFs, Word test PDFs normal or PDF/A compliant (with and without T...
You'll note that what all those publications have in common is that they mention you still need to enable the flag to get access to the feature, which means it's very much not finished and still in development. As long as the only way to get to a feature is via its flag, it should always be considered under development and not supported, and its functionality can change at any time.
- Josh, thanks for your reply but I do not see where it helps in my question.
Do you have the same behaviour or not?
About the feature being in dev, that I think we all understand, but:
1. The feature (or part off it) is publicized in the "what's new" and not in "what's in development" of the official msedge site.
2. Even taking into account that it is in development, MSEDGE programmers exposed it to the public testing via policy (registry / gpo) and the 2 or more year old flag, nevertheless nothing happens in my case so how can I test it?- Today with the MSEDGE update to the build 105.0.1343.25, the Certificate based signed PDFs that I had opened for testing in MSEDGE, after the update restart they started to showed the top strip stating that the PDF is digitally signed (and a new menu item appeared with the name "Digital Signature").
But from my early tests:
* The e-invoice certificate-based digital signed PDF (EU qualified certificate) states that all signatures are valid, but when I click in "View Signatures" or click on the menu item "Digital Signature" -> NOTHING HAPPENS 😞
* PDF (created from a test word doc) signed with my government citizen card (smarcard eIdentity), the digital signature top strip states that some signatures could not be validated (even thou they can be validated by the Adobe Reader, and the Root /Issuer CAs are in the OS Certificate Trusts) and when I click "view signatures" there is certificate attached to the signature that I can view and do my own validation (Signature Unknown).
* in a test e-invoice digitally signed with an advanced certificate that has validation issues (in Adobe Reader), when I click "View Signatures" it says that the Signature is invalid, but when I click the "View Certificate" -> NOTHING HAPPENS 😞
