Note: The issue which you have mentioned may also occur if there is trial version watermark applied to every PDF which you have created. So please make sure you are using the licensed version assemblies and there is no watermark added to PDF

Yes I still working on trial version of Syncfusion. And I don't add any watermark to pdf. do you? 

also will this be fixed after I moved to licensed version?

Hi Ahmad, 

If you are using the trial version of Syncfusion, it will add watermark to every PDF document which you have created. So the reported issue “Signature becomes invalid” may occurs due to this. This issue will be fixed once you moved to licensed version. Please let us know if you have any concerns on this.

Hi Syncfusion Team,

I have the same issue, I tried using the community license, but the trial watermark still there. Can I use the community license with the PDF library?

Hi Fady,

Starting with 2022 Volume 1 v20.1.0.47, we are enforcing all Syncfusion customers (evaluators and paid customers) who use Syncfusion installers or NuGet packages from nuget.org must generate and register the corresponding platform and version license key in your projects.

https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/post/syncfusion-essential-studio-2022-volume-1-is-here.aspx/

Our license keys are version and platform-specific and it’s just a string that needs to be registered before initiating any Syncfusion controls in your application. So, please ensure that all the referenced Syncfusion assemblies\NuGet packages are on the same version as license key’s version.

Ensure that Syncfusion.Licensing.dll is referred in your project and the proper license key is registered in your application.  

Also, you should set “CopyLocal” to True to Syncfusion.Licensing.dll along with all other Syncfusion assemblies and ensure that the Syncfusion.Licensing.dll assembly also deployed with your application in same version

Find below the details to know about generating license key,

Could you please follow below kb article to know more information on removing the license warning message?
