The tool lets you create signatures with certificates but there is currently no way to verify them.

An elegant solution would be to include such a functionality within the reader.

If you're referring to checking if the certificate is trusted or not, then it wouldn't be possible since some certificates are self signed. Everything else should definitely be achievable though.

True, but an option would be to include an optional custom trust store file like a NSS certificate database.
When this is not included it could use the mozilla one for example and only verify official certificates.

This seems similar to JakubMelka/PDF4QT#161

Maybe OCSP based revocation checking instead of trusting would be a better option. I think it should be implemented in the PDF reader mostly and also separately to print it with validated signature.

I found this tool called mupdf and it has the abilites to do so. Seems to be what we are looking for.
