Okular may not handle digitally signing forms yet.
I doubt they have plans for that. It is not only creating signatures (which I don't need, I think), but checking that a signed document has a valid signature and has not been tampered.
As for your prior post where you balanced the cost against a full windows license and then piled on the full 450 dollar price of Acrobat, that is a false dichotomy. (And I suspect you knew that when you wrote it).
Windows usually comes included when we buy a computer, and acrobat reader is free of charge. Different thing is buying a license for virtualizing a machine. And different thing is pirating Windows, which is very popular where I live. So much so that I can not convince people to use Linux with the argument that it is free, because they say that Windows is also free.
If you need to Digitally Sign PDFs Its not clear to me that even Adobe Reader X does this in any verifiable way. Yes they put a picture of your signature in, but how valid is that.
I don't think that's valid at all. I have not tried signing (PKCS certificates, I think), because first you need a criptokey, and mine I think is not valid for PDFs. And the people I know using those features do so in Windows, and often they have the full adobe package. The photo of the signature is just for show, I understand. I'll have to study that feature one day before acroread 9 stops working. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)
