    Hi!

    I have an Enigmail PGP signature that I use in Thunderbird under Ubuntu Linux.
    In Libre Office I can use it to sign (and encrypt) an ODT-document.
    But when I try to use it during export of a document as a PDF document something goes wrong. In the 'PDF Options' window on the 'Digital Signature' tab, I click on the 'Select' button and get the 'Select Certificate' window. My signature is already selected (it's the only one present). I now click on 'Sign'. The window closes, but the signature isn't shown in the field called "Use this certificate to digitally sign PDF documents:". So when I press the 'Export' button, I get a "signature generation failed" error message, and export of the PDF file fails.

    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you.

    Best regards,
    Henrik

    I don't understand exactly. In which software do you try to export a PDF? In LibreOffice?

    Yes, in LibreOffice Writer. Version: 6.0.7.3.

    I'm sorry, but that's not related in the slightest way to Enigmail. I'd suggest you ask for support with the LibreOffice guys.

    OK. Sorry for the inconvinience.
