Alternatively, you can use subject line prefix "eLs!Pdf:
"
in your mail program.
If your default is already PDF, but you want to send a qualified eMail Message (MIME), you can
override this on a per message basis with the subject line prefix "eLs!MiMe:".
Qualified signatures in PDFs are new. Therefore, the signature validation modules of common PDF
viewers only master this technology with different degrees of convenience.
- Acrobat Reader has
a very small own trust store for root certificates. Approved Swiss CAs such as QuoVadis are not part of it. You need to
configure it in the advanced security digital signature preferences to use the
windows Trust Store. It dislikes that the qualifying "qc statement"
as per the standard (ETSI) is
critical
in the signing certificates and the thus the overall verdict remained "?" and not a green check mark. - CABAReT Stage is a portable viewer and in its paying version,
it can also be used to create qualified signed PDFs as per the Swiss Law (OR 14).
The partial "?" in the
signature icon is expected to disappear in the upcoming version 3 and we
hope the "signature info" tab will provide details about the liability sums as per
the qc statement then.

Bei der Prüfung identifizierte Fehler können mit den Korrekturfunktionen direkt behoben werden". - OPENLiMiT SignCubes gives QuoVadis qualified signatures the green
check mark, but due to restrictive BSI rules, it does not automatically perform
OCSP checks and if done so manually, complains about Swiss approved Responses.
Due to the same restrictive approach, advanced PDF signatures with Thawte Freemail
Signature Certificates or TrustCenter.de also do not pass immediately.
In its paying version, it can be used to create qualified signed PDF documents
as per the Swiss Law (OR 14).
