+pdf-simple-sign
+===============
+
+'pdf-simple-sign' is a simple PDF signer intended for documents produced by
+the Cairo library (≤ 1.17.4 or using PDF 1.4), GNU troff, ImageMagick,
+or similar.
+
+I don't aim to extend the functionality any further. The project is fairly
+self-contained and it should be easy to grasp and change to suit to your needs.
+
+Packages
+--------
+Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough.
+You can get a package with the latest development version using Arch Linux's
+https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pdf-simple-sign-git[AUR],
+or as a https://git.janouch.name/p/nixexprs[Nix derivation].
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+See the link:pdf-simple-sign.adoc[man page] for information about usage.
+The rest of this README will concern itself with externalities.

+
+Building
+--------
+Build dependencies: Meson, Asciidoctor, a C++11 compiler, pkg-config +
+Runtime dependencies: libcrypto (OpenSSL 1.1 API)
+
+ $ git clone https://git.janouch.name/p/pdf-simple-sign.git
+ $ cd pdf-simple-sign
+ $ meson builddir
+ $ cd builddir
+ $ ninja
+
+In addition to the C++ version, also included is a native Go port,
+which has enhanced PDF 1.5 support:
+
+----
+$ go install janouch.name/pdf-simple-sign/cmd/pdf-simple-sign@master
+----
+
+and a crude external VFS for Midnight Commander, that may be used to extract
+all streams from a given PDF file:
+
+----
+$ GOBIN=$HOME/.local/share/mc/extfs.d \
+ go install janouch.name/pdf-simple-sign/cmd/extfs-pdf@master
+----
+
+To enable the VFS, edit your _~/.config/mc/mc.ext.ini_ to contain:
+
+----
+[pdf]
+Type=^PDF
+Open=%cd %p/extfs-pdf://
