Okular feature request, concerning digital signature with certificate

Brainstorm
1

Hi, I would like to propose a feature for Okular:

Right now, when signing a PDF document using a digital certificate, the signature appears inside a rectangle with black borders and light-gray background. The user can choose a background image, but this is inserted inside the light-gray rectangle. Inside the rectangle also appears the signtaure text: “Signed by XXX, date: YYY“.

The feature that I propose is:
Add an option in the settings to specify the rectangle border (width, color, transparency), the background color (currently is light-gray, it would be nice to be able to choose between other colors or transparent), and also the signature text (currently it says “Signed by XXX…“, it would be nice to be able to choose a different text, like “Digitally signed by XXX…“ or something else).

Or maybe these features alreary exist and I couldn’t find it anywhere?

can’t speak to the formatting issues as those are not important to me, but the text of the certificate is controlled by whatever you used to create the certificate.

i use certutil and the -s option is where you create the text of what will be shown in the box

the “CN=whatever you type here” is what will show in the box.
