intent for whether the signing dialog should allow the user to
lock the document at the time of signing. Values are

false
, and
auto
, as follows:
true
, the document should be locked at the time of signing.
If the
Ff
entry indicates that
LockDocument
is not a
required contraint, the user may choose to override this at
the time of signing; otherwise, the document is locked after
signing.

present the lock user interface for the document and

appearances. This text string provides authors with a means of
specifying which appearance should be used to sign the

in
Ff
is set, the
appearance shall be available to sign the document and is used.
