How e-Aadhaar Digital Signatures Function

Digitally signed PDF documents contain a cryptographic signature associated with a specific byte range of the original document. The verification process checks that signed data against the embedded PKCS#7 / CMS signature.

If the signed PDF has been modified after signing, the cryptographic verification can fail because the signed byte stream no longer matches the signature.

Why Adobe Reader Displays the Question Mark (?)

PDF viewers can distinguish between a mathematically valid signature and a certificate that is trusted by the viewer's configured trust settings.

This tool performs the cryptographic signature verification on the server and displays the result over the existing PDF signature location.

Original PDF Remains Unchanged

The uploaded PDF is not re-signed, flattened, edited, or modified. PDF.js renders the original document in the browser and the green validation indicator is an HTML overlay.

Zero-Retention Processing

The uploaded document is processed in an ephemeral server-side working directory and removed after verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does e-Aadhaar show a yellow question mark in Adobe Acrobat?
PDF readers may show a certificate trust warning when the signing certificate is not trusted by their configured trust settings. Cryptographic signature validity and certificate trust are separate checks.
What password should I enter for my e-Aadhaar PDF?
UIDAI e-Aadhaar PDFs commonly use an 8-character password: the first four letters of the name in uppercase followed by the four-digit year of birth.
Can this tool verify other Indian digitally signed PDFs?
The verification pipeline is designed around PDF embedded digital signatures and is not limited to one document type.
