Digitally Signing

I have two questions.

1. Has anyone ever digitally signed a PDF coming out of Reporting Services?
2. When will you be able to generate a Word document from a Reporting Services Report?

Currently there is no real way to sign a PDF in the true sense of the word - The best you can really do is generate a hash off of the fully rendered PDF and then store the hash somewhere else...later you can use the hash to make sure the report hasn't been modified.

There is no ETA on SSRS being able to render to Word...SoftArtisans has a product which will do this now, though (http://officewriter.softartisans.com/)

Thanks for pointing these two important issues and also posting a relevant solution to make people aware about them. I am not having any idea about reporting services, so is not able to properly interpret the problem.
