the gpg backend setting is still s/mime and not openpgp, so you need s/mime certificates, just like for the nss backend. The pdf standard specifies s/mime for signing pdfs. Maybe we should change the name of the backend to "GnuPG (S/MIME)" (or "GPGSM", but many won't understand this) to make this more obvious. "GPG" is actually very wrong because gpg is the name of the OpenPGP tool of the GnuPG suite.

Sune? Sure. I didn't have any good ideas at the time, but I kind of prepared the code for it https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/blob/master/generators/poppler/pdfsettingswidget.cpp#L35 If one option should be > GnuPG (S/MIME) what should the other be > Netscape NSS > NSS > Firefox Certificate store I think a good name for the NSS backend depends on how it behaves on different OSes, i.e. if it uses the Windows/macOS certificate store on Windows/macOS then "Firefox Certificate store" is probably not a good name. And I guess most people don't know that Mozilla Firefox was once called Netscape.

Why not using a text not on the button but beside the option when we select the option. This text would explain what certificate is expected.

Afaik, it still uses the firefox cert store on all platforms. NSS is the better name We use the current user Firefox NSS database by default if it exists, but users can select any folder containing an NSS database.
