    <h2 style="font-size:11pt;color:#1f2a33;">How this PAdES-BASELINE-LTA signature is produced</h2>
    <p style="font-size:9pt;color:#1f2a33;">Configuring a B-LT signature (with a TSA) and then calling
    <code>upgradeToLta()</code> selects the pades-b-lta profile and forces the LTV material on, so the output
    carries three incremental revisions: the CAdES signature with its RFC 3161 signature timestamp (B-T),
    the DSS/VRI validation material (B-LT), and a <code>/Type /DocTimeStamp</code> archive timestamp
    (<code>/SubFilter /ETSI.RFC3161</code>) whose messageImprint covers the whole document up to that
    revision (B-LTA). The archive timestamp protects the signature and its validation material over the long
    term, even after the signing certificate or its algorithms weaken.</p>
    <h2 style="font-size:11pt;color:#7a1f1f;">Limitations of this demo</h2>
    <ul style="font-size:9pt;color:#1f2a33;">
      <li>Two live RFC 3161 requests are made: one for the signature timestamp and one for the archive
      timestamp. A configured, reachable TSA is required for both; if the TSA is unreachable or rejects a
      request the signing step throws a signing exception and no PDF is produced.</li>
      <li>As in E009, the bundled self-signed demo certificate carries no OCSP/CRL responders, so the DSS
      embeds only certificates and a validator reports B-T with a DSS and an archive timestamp rather than a
      full B-LTA. A CA-issued certificate with reachable revocation responders is needed for a full B-LTA
      verdict.</li>
    </ul>
