Hey there,
Just came across this small utility. It might help. Install 'pdftk' from
aptitude or apt-get. I was using it this morning to combine pdf files. It has a

signed pdfs. Hopefully it works. Check it out.

I suggest you concentrate your efforts on finding out (and publish your

Hi,
A financial institution refused to enable electronic delivery unless it
detected Acrobat Reader installed on my system. When I challenged it
