It seems you’re encountering an issue with digital signatures displayed as corrupted in WebViewer. This could potentially be due to the specific way signatures are being handled or displayed in the current version of WebViewer.

Some things you can try:

  • Ensure that the digital signature is correctly applied and valid in other PDF viewers to rule out any issues with the signature itself.

  • Check if the issue persists with different algorithms or signature methods, as SHA-1 might be part of the problem.

  • Verify that your WebViewer setup is correctly configured and that no additional security settings are interfering with signature display.

  • Consider updating to the latest version of WebViewer, as there might be fixes or improvements related to digital signatures.
