===============
-:compact-option:
'pdf-simple-sign' is a simple PDF signer intended for documents produced by
-the Cairo library. As such, it currently comes with some restrictions:
-
- * the document may not have any forms or signatures already, as they would be
- overwritten
- * the document may not employ cross-reference streams, or must constitute
- a hybrid-reference file at least
-
-The signature is attached to the first page and has no appearance.
+the Cairo library, 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.
+Documentation
+-------------
+See the link:pdf-simple-sign.adoc[man page] for information about usage.
+The rest of this README will concern itself with externalities.
