Digitally signing ghostpdf.inf

You must be running a version of Microsoft Windows to use the following tools.

Install Visual Studio 2013 (community edition is fine)

Install the Windows Driver Kit

Source the Artifex signing certificates and passwords.

From the Start menu, open Visual Studio 2013->Visual Studio Tools. Right click “Developer Command Prompt for VS2013” and ‘Run as administrator’

Put the .inf file, and any associated required files (in the case of ghostscript.inf, this requires ghostscript.ppd) in a new folder.

Run:

$ inf2cat /driver:<folder where .inf file is stored> /os:7_x86,7_x64,8_x86,8_x64

Sign the .cat file by running:

$ signtool sign /f "<path to Artifex key>_for_signing_exes.pfx" /p <password for key> /t <http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll> ghostpdf.cat
