Sign without private key

[jchapelle]

Hello,

Using adobe acrobat, we can sign pdf using certificate that is registered on the computer or using a eid smart card. I guess it is then feasible to sign without a private key.

I would like to sign a pdf using a certificate that is available on belgian eid smart card (pkcs#11).
On these cards, there are no private key. The certificate is issued by a trusted CA and only this CA has the private key.
Still, it is feasible to sign a pdf using these eid smart card.

Would it be possible to sign using only the trusted certificate ?
