[reportlab-users] adding a digital signature when generating a pdf

That's great news - I had not realised this was in iText recently.
This means we
have a working reference implementation to compare to.  It should
therefore make it
much easier for anyone on this group who wants this feature to implement it.

Anyone need this badly enough?
