HRESULT _stdcall CheckDoc([out, retval] long* Value);

Description

Function to check a signed PDF document, in order to see if the document was not changed after signing.

Return value

This function returns 0, 1, 2 or 3.

0	No document loaded or error opening doc.
1	No Biodata found. Document has not been signed or Biodata is erased from the document.
2	Biodata found in document and document has not been manipulated.
3	Biodata or document has been manipulated.

Important:

If CheckDoc returns 3 or 4 you can not add new signatures to it, because the document has already been signed and was manipulated afterwards. The document is now invalid.
