Is it possible in Alfresco to get the value of a digitally signed document? The document for example is a .docx file. I can see that whenever I upload a document to Alfresco Share the author of a .docx document is automatically getting filled in the properties of that document.
And if so, what are the files I need to tweaked to customize it?
What sort of digital signature you're using? Alfresco extracts some document metadata and fills its default content model properties with this. Check what you get in your node.properties and you'll see what got extracted. You can for example upload a doc to guest home and then browse to it in the node browser in Alfresco Explorer.
Thank you for your reply I'm using SecureMetric's digital signature powered by Ascertia hope this helps. That is a very good idea. But if I wanted to only extract the issuer, and the date of that digital signature should I also customized the MSOffice.java and also the Metadata.java and also I want it to show on the documentlist?
