iTextSharp is what are you looking for. It is the ported version of iText to C#, and as Filipe Correia answered, it have support to PADES.

The PADES standard have 5 parts.

iText (Java) and iTextSharp (C#), both:

  • Have full support of PAdES Part 2
  • Support of PAdES Part 3 with an external signature
  • Have full support of PAdES Part 4
  • And do not support PAdES Part 5.

You can try iText. Although I still haven't tried myself, it supports signing files using the PAdES standard. Here's a sample, and here's another.

Mind you, the latest version is dual licensed, Affero-GPL or a Commercial license. But there's an older version under the LGPL.

Did you check PDFBlackbox package of our SecureBlackbox product? It supports PAdES and the sample for C# is included right in the installation package.
