Digital Signatures and Rights management

I've just figured out that if you want to apply any type of policy onto a form (like thru a custom renderer) you need to apply the policy as the first thing. The reason being is that if you apply the policy afterwards, it breaks the digital signature.

Oddly enough this also applies if you reader extend the form. If you apply the reader extension THEN apply the policy, you'll get an error saying that you can't apply a policy on a signed form. Strange, eh?
