Create a Certification Signature
With certification you can control if additional changes to the document are allowed after the signature was applied.

// create a signer instance
$signer = new Signer($document);
// add a signature field
$field = $signer->addSignatureField();
// and define that you want to use this field
$signer->setSignatureFieldName($field->getQualifiedName());
// set the certification level
$signer->setCertificationLevel($certificationLevel);
$certificatePath = $assetsDirectory . '/certificates/setapdf-no-pw.pem';
// now create a signature module
$module = new PadesModule();
// pass the path to the certificate
$module->setCertificate('file://' . $certificatePath);
// set the path to the private key (in this demo the key is also saved in the certificate file)
$module->setPrivateKey('file://' . $certificatePath, '');
// sign the document with the module
$signer->sign($module);
