What is PDF Signature Field Inspector?
PDF Signature Field Inspector scans PDF documents to detect digital signature fields, cryptographic signature validity containers, signee placeholders, and security permissions.

It provides detailed validation timestamps, signing authorities, certificate chain hashes, and signer credentials in a single clean inspector panel.
