Target single framework and add publish profile

Updated `EnvelopeGenerator.Service.csproj` to target a single framework (`net4.6.2`) by replacing `<TargetFrameworks>` with `<TargetFramework>`.

Added `DefaultProfile.pubxml` to define a publish profile with settings for release configuration, platform, and file system-based publishing.

+
+---
+
+## Unterschied zu einer normalen ASP.NET Core API
+
+`EnvelopeGenerator.Server` ist **keine** gewöhnliche ASP.NET Core Web API. Es handelt sich um eine **Blazor Auto (Server + WebAssembly Hybrid)**-Anwendung.
+
+| Merkmal | Normale ASP.NET Core API | EnvelopeGenerator.Server (Blazor Auto) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Projekttyp | `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web` | `Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web` + WASM Client |
+| Frontend | Keins / Razor Pages | Blazor Server + Blazor WASM |
+| WASM-Komponente | Nein | Ja (`EnvelopeGenerator.Server.Client`) |
+| Framework-DLL-Bindung | Tolerant gegenüber Runtime-Versionen | **Strikt**: WASM erwartet exakte Assembly-Versionen |
+| Publish ohne .NET auf Zielserver | Nicht nötig (FDD reicht meist) | **Self-Contained Pflicht** empfohlen |
+| IIS Application Pool | `.NET CLR v4.0` oder `No Managed Code` | **Zwingend: `No Managed Code`** |
+| Publish-Paketgröße | ~5–20 MB | **~500 MB** (enthält .NET Runtime) |
+| `web.config processPath` | `dotnet` + `.dll` | **`.\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.exe`** |
+
+### Warum die WASM-Komponente den Unterschied macht
+
+Die WASM-Seite der Anwendung (`EnvelopeGenerator.Server.Client`) bindet Assemblies wie
+`Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions` in einer **fest definierten Version**.
+Bei einem **Framework-Dependent Deployment** werden diese Assemblies nicht mitgeliefert und
+müssen auf dem Zielserver vorhanden sein — in der exakt passenden Version.
+
+Fehlt die passende .NET-Runtime auf dem Zielserver, erscheint folgender Fehler beim Start:
+
+```
+Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException:
+Could not load file or assembly
+'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, Version=8.0.0.0'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Warum Self-Contained Publish?
+
+Beim **Self-Contained Deployment** werden **alle benötigten .NET Runtime-DLLs** in das
+Ausgabeverzeichnis kopiert. Die Anwendung ist damit vollständig unabhängig von der auf dem
+Zielserver installierten .NET-Version.
+
+| | Framework-Dependent | Self-Contained |
+|---|---|---|
+| .NET auf Zielserver nötig | Ja | **Nein** |
+| Paketgröße | ~20 MB | ~500 MB |
+| `runtimeconfig.json` | `frameworkVersion` vorhanden | `includedFrameworks` (Runtime eingebettet) |
+| Fehleranfälligkeit auf Fremd-PC | Hoch | Minimal |
+
+---
+
+## Publish-Befehl (Terminal)
+
+### Empfohlener Befehl (Self-Contained, win-x64)
+
+```bat
+dotnet publish EnvelopeGenerator.Server\EnvelopeGenerator.Server\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.csproj ^
+  -c Release ^
+  -f net8.0 ^
+  --self-contained true ^
+  --runtime win-x64 ^
+  -o .\publish-output
+```
+
+> Dieser Befehl muss vom **Solution-Root-Verzeichnis** aus ausgefuehrt werden.
+> Alternativ: `publish.bat` im selben Verzeichnis wie diese README ausfuehren.
+
+### Parameter-Erklaerung
+
+| Parameter | Bedeutung |
+|---|---|
+| `-c Release` | Release-Konfiguration (optimiert, kein Debug-Code) |
+| `-f net8.0` | Ziel-Framework explizit angeben (Pflicht, da `<TargetFrameworks>` mehrere Werte haben kann) |
+| `--self-contained true` | Alle .NET Runtime-DLLs ins Ausgabeverzeichnis kopieren |
+| `--runtime win-x64` | Zielplattform: Windows 64-Bit |
+| `-o .\publish-output` | Ausgabeverzeichnis |
+
+### Überprüfung nach dem Publish
+
+Nach erfolgreichem Publish folgende Dateien im Ausgabeverzeichnis prüfen:
+
+```powershell
+# Diese Dateien MÜSSEN vorhanden sein (Self-Contained-Nachweis):
+Test-Path ".\publish-output\hostfxr.dll"       # .NET Host
+Test-Path ".\publish-output\coreclr.dll"       # .NET Core Runtime
+Test-Path ".\publish-output\Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions.dll"
+Test-Path ".\publish-output\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.exe"
+Test-Path ".\publish-output\web.config"
+```
+
+Alle Ergebnisse müssen `True` sein.
+
+---
+
+## IIS-Konfiguration
+
+> **WICHTIG:** Diese Einstellungen unterscheiden sich von einer normalen ASP.NET Core API
+> und sind zwingend erforderlich.
+
+### 1. Application Pool — `No Managed Code`
+
+ASP.NET Core (und damit auch Blazor) verwaltet seinen eigenen Runtime-Lifecycle.
+IIS darf **keinen** .NET CLR-Managed-Code-Kontext aktivieren.
+
+**Einstellung:**
+
+```
+IIS Manager
+  → Application Pools
+  → [Pool-Name der Anwendung] → Basic Settings
+  → .NET CLR Version: "No Managed Code"   ← ZWINGEND
+```
+
+> **Fehler bei falscher Einstellung:** HTTP 500.30 — ASP.NET Core app failed to start
+> (sc-win32-status: 574 in IIS-Logs)
+
+### 2. ASP.NET Core Module V2
+
+Das IIS-Modul `AspNetCoreModuleV2` muss installiert sein.
+Es wird über das **.NET Hosting Bundle** mitgeliefert.
+
+Prüfen:
+```
+IIS Manager → Modules → "AspNetCoreModuleV2" vorhanden?
+```
+
+Falls nicht installiert: [.NET 8 Hosting Bundle herunterladen](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0)
+und nach der Installation IIS neu starten:
+
+```cmd
+net stop was /y && net start w3svc
+```
+
+### 3. web.config — Korrekte Konfiguration für Self-Contained
+
+Nach dem Publish wird `web.config` automatisch generiert. Für Self-Contained muss sie so aussehen:
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+<configuration>
+  <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
+    <system.webServer>
+      <handlers>
+        <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*"
+             modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
+      </handlers>
+      <aspNetCore processPath=".\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.exe"
+                  stdoutLogEnabled="false"
+                  stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout"
+                  hostingModel="inprocess" />
+    </system.webServer>
+  </location>
+</configuration>
+```
+
+**Kritische Unterschiede zu Framework-Dependent:**
+
+| Eigenschaft | Framework-Dependent (FALSCH) | Self-Contained (RICHTIG) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `processPath` | `dotnet` | `.\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.exe` |
+| `arguments` | `.\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.dll` | *(leer oder weggelassen)* |
+
+### 4. Berechtigungen für das `logs`-Verzeichnis
+
+Wenn `stdoutLogEnabled="true"` gesetzt wird (zur Fehlerdiagnose), muss das `logs`-Verzeichnis
+existieren und der IIS-Prozess muss Schreibrechte haben:
+
+```powershell
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<App-Pfad>\logs" -Force
+icacls "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<App-Pfad>\logs" /grant "IIS_IUSRS:(OI)(CI)F"
+```
+
+> Ohne dieses Verzeichnis kann die Anwendung bei aktiviertem Logging **nicht starten**.
+
+### 5. Application Pool Recycle nach Deployment
+
+Nach jedem Deployment den Application Pool neu starten:
+
+```cmd
+# IIS Manager → Application Pools → [Pool] → Recycle
+# oder per Kommandozeile (als Administrator):
+%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd recycle apppool /apppool.name:"<Pool-Name>"
+```

+| `FileNotFoundException: Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions` | Framework-Dependent Publish auf Server ohne .NET 8 | Self-Contained Publish verwenden |
+| `HTTP 500.30` in IIS | App startet nicht | Application Pool auf `No Managed Code` setzen |
+| `HTTP 500.30` + `sc-win32-status: 574` | App Pool falsch oder `AspNetCoreModuleV2` fehlt | Pool prüfen + Hosting Bundle installieren |
+| App startet per `.exe`, aber nicht in IIS | `web.config` hat noch `processPath="dotnet"` | `web.config` auf `.\EnvelopeGenerator.Server.exe` korrigieren |
+| Logs-Verzeichnis fehlt → App startet nicht | `stdoutLogEnabled="true"` aber `logs\` existiert nicht | `logs\`-Ordner anlegen + IIS_IUSRS Schreibrecht geben |

+# Migration Plan: EnvelopeGenerator.Service_legacy ? EnvelopeGenerator.Service
+**Revision v3** — Full deep analysis complete
+
+## Overview
+
+Migrate the legacy VB.NET Windows Service (`EnvelopeGenerator.Service_legacy`) to a modern
+C# Worker Service (`EnvelopeGenerator.Service`) targeting **.NET Framework 4.6.2**, using
+`Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting`, `IConfiguration`, `ILogger<T>` and **NLog**.
+
+---
+
+## Deep Analysis Findings (vs. v1/v2)
+
+### Finding 1 — Connection String: Plain Text, No Encryption Required
+`FinalizeDocumentJob` and `APIEnvelopeJob` call `MSSQLServer.DecryptConnectionString()` on the
+`JobDataMap[Value.DATABASE]` value. However, `MSSQLServer.DecryptConnectionString()` is a pass-through
+for plain-text strings — no wrapping/encryption step is needed.
+
+**Resolution**: The connection string is read from `IConfiguration` via the standard
+`ConnectionStrings:Default` key (same key as `appsettings.Database.json` in `EnvelopeGenerator.Web`).
+It is passed **as-is** to both the Worker-level `MSSQLServer` and the `JobDataMap`. No
+`EncryptConnectionString()` call is made anywhere in the new service.
+
+### Finding 2 — Dual TempFiles Architecture
+There are **two independent** `TempFiles` classes:
+- `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices.TempFiles` — used **inside each job** via `New TempFiles(LogConfig)`.
+  This is called on every job execution and manages the job's own temp lifecycle. It expects `LogConfig`.
+  **We do not touch this.**
+- `EnvelopeGenerator.Service_legacy.TempFiles` — used at the **service/host level** (startup cleanup,
+  shutdown cleanup). This is the one we rewrite in C# in the Service project using `ILogger<TempFiles>`.
+
+### Finding 3 — LogConfig is a Hard Dependency of All Jobs
+`FinalizeDocumentJob.Execute()` and `APIEnvelopeJob.Execute()` both do:
+```vb
+LogConfig = pContext.MergedJobDataMap.Item(Value.LOGCONFIG)
+Logger = LogConfig.GetLogger()
+myTempFiles = New TempFiles(LogConfig)  ' ? CommonServices.TempFiles
+```
+`LogConfig` is **not optional**. The schedulers must construct a valid `LogConfig` and place it in the
+`JobDataMap`. It must carry the correct log path, debug flag, and application identity.
+
+**Resolution**: A `LogConfigFactory` static helper class will be created in the Service project to
+build a `LogConfig` from `ServiceConfig` values:
+- `LogPath` = `Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "Log")` (mirrors legacy `My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "\Log"`)
+- `Debug` = `ServiceConfig.Debug`
+- Application name = `"EnvelopeGenerator.Service"`
+
+### Finding 4 — ProjectInstaller is Obsolete
+`ProjectInstaller.vb` was the old `installutil.exe` mechanism for Windows Service registration.
+With `AddWindowsService()` + `sc create` / PowerShell `New-Service`, this is **completely replaced**.
+No equivalent is needed in the new project.
+
+### Finding 5 — GDPicture License SQL
+The legacy service queries: `SELECT LICENSE FROM TBDD_3RD_PARTY_MODULES WHERE NAME = 'GDPICTURE' and ACTIVE = 1`
+This must be replicated exactly in the Worker startup sequence. If the result is null/empty, startup fails
+with a descriptive exception (matching legacy behavior).
+
+### Finding 6 — Quartz Version Mismatch
+`CommonServices` uses `Quartz 3.8.0`. `Service_legacy` uses `Quartz 3.15.0`.
+The new `EnvelopeGenerator.Service` must use **Quartz 3.8.0** to match `CommonServices` (same AppDomain,
+same version must be loaded). The legacy version bump in `Service_legacy` was inconsistent.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Project File (`EnvelopeGenerator.Service.csproj`)
+
+- Add **NuGet packages**:
+  - `NLog` (5.x, matching CommonServices' `NLog.5.0.5`)
+  - `NLog.Extensions.Logging` (latest net462-compatible)
+  - `Quartz` (**3.8.0** — must match CommonServices)
+  - `Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices` (for `AddWindowsService()`)
+- Add **project reference** to `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices` (vbproj)
+- Add **project reference** to `EnvelopeGenerator.Domain` (csproj)
+
+---
+
+## 2. Configuration (`ServiceConfig.cs`)
+
+```csharp
+public class ServiceConfig
+{
+    public string ConnectionString { get; set; } = string.Empty;
+    public bool Debug { get; set; } = false;
+    public int IntervalInMin { get; set; } = 1;
+    public PDFBurnerParams PDFBurnerParams { get; set; } = new PDFBurnerParams();
+}
+```
+
+Connection string is read via the standard `ConnectionStrings:Default` key — consistent with
+`appsettings.Database.json` used by `EnvelopeGenerator.Web`:
+
+`appsettings.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "ConnectionStrings": {
+    "Default": ""
+  },
+  "ServiceConfig": {
+    "Debug": false,
+    "IntervalInMin": 1,
+    "PDFBurnerParams": {
+      "IgnoredLabels": [ "Date", "Datum", "ZIP", "PLZ", "Place", "Ort", "Position", "Stellung" ],
+      "TopMargin": 0.1,
+      "YOffset": -0.3,
+      "FontName": "Arial",
+      "FontSize": 8,
+      "FontStyle": 2,
+      "TruncationSuffix": "..",
+      "TextMaxWidths": {
+        "position": 1.41,
+        "city": 1.41,
+        "date": 2.0
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> `FontStyle` integer: Regular=0, Bold=1, **Italic=2**, Underline=4, Strikeout=8.
+> All values mirror `PDFBurnerParams.vb` defaults exactly.
+
+---
+
+## 3. NLog Setup
+
+**`nlog.config`**: File target ? `${basedir}/Log/service-${shortdate}.log`, async wrapper,
+layout with timestamp + level + logger + message + exception.
+
+**`Program.cs`**: Wire via `NLog.Extensions.Logging`:
+```csharp
+builder.Logging.ClearProviders();
+builder.Logging.AddNLog("nlog.config");
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. LogConfigFactory (`LogConfigFactory.cs`)
+
+New static helper — bridges `ServiceConfig` ? `LogConfig` (required by CommonServices jobs):
+
+```csharp
+internal static class LogConfigFactory
+{
+    public static LogConfig Create(ServiceConfig config)
+    {
+        var logPath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "Log");
+        var logConfig = new LogConfig(
+            LogConfig.PathType.CustomPath, logPath, null,
+            "Digital Data", "EnvelopeGenerator.Service");
+        logConfig.Debug = config.Debug;
+        return logConfig;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This `LogConfig` instance is what gets placed into every `JobDataMap[Value.LOGCONFIG]`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Quartz LogProvider (`QuartzLogProvider.cs`)
+
+C# rewrite of `LogProvider.vb` — bridges Quartz `ILogProvider` ? `ILogger<T>`:
+
+```csharp
+internal class QuartzLogProvider : ILogProvider
+{
+    private readonly ILogger _logger;
+    public QuartzLogProvider(ILogger logger) => _logger = logger;
+    public Logger GetLogger(string name) => (level, func, ex, parameters) => { ... };
+    // OpenNestedContext / OpenMappedContext ? NotImplementedException (same as legacy)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. TempFiles (`TempFiles.cs`) — Service-level only
+
+Service-level rewrite of `Service_legacy/TempFiles.vb` using `ILogger<TempFiles>`:
+- `Create()` ? create `%TEMP%\EnvelopeGenerator`, or clean existing files
+- `CleanUp()` ? delete the directory on service stop
+
+> **Does NOT replace** `CommonServices.TempFiles` — that one continues to be used
+> inside each job via `LogConfig`.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Schedulers
+
+### `Schedulers/SchedulerFinishEnvelope.cs`
+
+```csharp
+public class SchedulerFinishEnvelope
+{
+    // Constructor: ILogger<SchedulerFinishEnvelope>, IOptions<ServiceConfig>
+    // Start(licenseKey, logConfig):
+    //   - Build JobDataMap:
+    //       [GDPICTURE]        = licenseKey
+    //       [LOGCONFIG]        = logConfig                   ? LogConfigFactory output
+    //       [DATABASE]         = MSSQLServer.EncryptConnectionString(connectionString)
+    //       [PDF_BURNER_PARAMS] = config.PDFBurnerParams
+    //   - Schedule FinalizeDocumentJob with Quartz (interval from config)
+    //   - Register QuartzLogProvider
+    // Stop(): Scheduler.Shutdown()
+}
+```
+
+### `Schedulers/SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi.cs`
+
+```csharp
+public class SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi
+{
+    // Constructor: ILogger<SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi>, IOptions<ServiceConfig>
+    // Start(logConfig):
+    //   - Build JobDataMap:
+    //       [LOGCONFIG] = logConfig
+    //       [DATABASE]  = MSSQLServer.EncryptConnectionString(connectionString)
+    //   - Schedule APIEnvelopeJob with Quartz (interval from config)
+    //   - Register QuartzLogProvider
+    // Stop(): Scheduler.Shutdown()
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Worker (`Worker.cs`)
+
+Full lifecycle replacing the placeholder:
+
+```
+ExecuteAsync:
+  1. Read ServiceConfig from IOptions<ServiceConfig>
+  2. Validate ConnectionString ? throw if empty
+  3. Build LogConfig via LogConfigFactory
+  4. Connect to DB (plain connection string — Worker-level only)
+  5. Query: SELECT LICENSE FROM TBDD_3RD_PARTY_MODULES WHERE NAME='GDPICTURE' AND ACTIVE=1
+     ? throw if null/empty (matches legacy behavior)
+  6. TempFiles.Create()
+  7. await SchedulerFinishEnvelope.Start(licenseKey, logConfig)
+  8. await Task.Delay(2500, stoppingToken)   ? preserved from legacy
+  9. await SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi.Start(logConfig)
+ 10. await Task.Delay(Timeout.Infinite, stoppingToken)  ? wait for cancellation
+
+StopAsync override:
+ 11. await SchedulerFinishEnvelope.Stop()
+ 12. await SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi.Stop()
+ 13. TempFiles.CleanUp()
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Program.cs
+
+```csharp
+var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);
+
+builder.Logging.ClearProviders();
+builder.Logging.AddNLog("nlog.config");
+
+builder.Services.Configure<ServiceConfig>(
+    builder.Configuration.GetSection("ServiceConfig"));
+
+builder.Services.AddSingleton<TempFiles>();
+builder.Services.AddSingleton<SchedulerFinishEnvelope>();
+builder.Services.AddSingleton<SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi>();
+builder.Services.AddHostedService<Worker>();
+builder.Services.AddWindowsService(o => o.ServiceName = "EnvelopeGenerator.Service");
+
+var host = builder.Build();
+host.Run();
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Files to Create / Modify
+
+| File | Action | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `EnvelopeGenerator.Service.csproj` | **Modify** | Add packages, project refs |
+| `Program.cs` | **Modify** | Full DI/NLog/WindowsService setup |
+| `Worker.cs` | **Modify** | Full service lifecycle |
+| `ServiceConfig.cs` | **Create** | |
+| `LogConfigFactory.cs` | **Create** | Critical bridge: ServiceConfig ? LogConfig |
+| `TempFiles.cs` | **Create** | Service-level only; CommonServices.TempFiles untouched |
+| `QuartzLogProvider.cs` | **Create** | |
+| `Schedulers/SchedulerFinishEnvelope.cs` | **Create** | |
+| `Schedulers/SchedulerEnvelopeTaskApi.cs` | **Create** | |
+| `appsettings.json` | **Create** | All PDFBurnerParams explicit |
+| `nlog.config` | **Create** | |
+
+**Not created** (obsolete in new architecture):
+- ~~`ProjectInstaller`~~ ? replaced by `sc create` / `New-Service`
+- ~~`Service.Designer.vb`~~ ? BackgroundService handles this
+- ~~`Service.resx`~~ ? not applicable
+
+---
+
+## 11. Key Design Decisions
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+| **Quartz 3.8.0** (not 3.15.0) | Must match CommonServices; same AppDomain, one version |
+| **Connection string plain-text, no encryption** | `MSSQLServer.DecryptConnectionString()` is a pass-through for plain strings; `ConnectionStrings:Default` key used (same convention as Web project) |
+| **Connection string in `ConnectionStrings:Default`** | Consistent with rest of the solution (`appsettings.Database.json`); `ServiceConfig` holds only service-specific settings |
+| **LogConfigFactory** | Jobs have hard dependency on `LogConfig` in JobDataMap; this is the clean bridge without leaking LogConfig into the DI container |
+| **2500ms delay preserved** | Legacy behavior; ensures Scheduler1 is fully initialized before Scheduler2 starts |
+| **`AddWindowsService()`** | Native SCM integration; replaces ProjectInstaller/installutil entirely |
+| **NLog log path = BaseDirectory/Log** | Mirrors `My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "\Log"` from legacy |
+| **CommonServices.TempFiles untouched** | Jobs create their own TempFiles internally via LogConfig; service-level TempFiles is separate concern |
+

+# Fix: Report Label "Read and confirmed" for Read and Sign Envelopes
+
+## Status
+✅ **COMPLETED**
+
+## Git Branch
+```
+fix/report-label-read-and-confirmed
+```
+
+---
+
+## Problem
+
+In the **Signature Certificate report** (`Signierungszertifikat`), the history event
+list always showed **"Document signed"** for status `DocumentSigned` (code `2005`) <20>
+even when the envelope type was **"Read and Sign"** (`EnvelopeTypeId = 2`).
+
+For "Read and Sign" envelopes the correct label must be **"Read and confirmed"**
+(DE: **"Gelesen und best<73>tigt"**).
+
+### Screenshot reference
+The report shows a table with columns *Ereignis | Benutzer | Zeitstempel*.  
+The row with status 2005 displayed "Document signed" where "Read and confirmed"
+was expected.
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`ReportItem.ItemStatusTranslated` in
+`EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices\Jobs\FinalizeDocument\ReportItem.vb`
+resolved the display label by calling:
+
+```vb
+My.Resources.Model.ResourceManager.GetString(ItemStatus.ToString())
+```
+
+There was **no branching logic** to handle the Read and Sign envelope type.
+The same `DocumentSigned` key was always used regardless of envelope type.
+
+---
+
+## Solution
+
+### Convention followed
+The project already uses a `RaC` (**R**ead **a**nd **C**onfirm) suffix for
+Read-and-Sign label variants across all resource files:
+
+| Existing RaC keys |
+|---|
+| `DocumentRejectedRaC` |
+| `EnvelopeReportCreatedRaC` |
+| `MessageConfirmationSentRaC` |
+
+### New resource key added: `DocumentSignedRaC`
+
+| Resource file | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `Model.resx` (DE, default) | `Gelesen und best<73>tigt` |
+| `Model.en.resx` (EN) | `Read and confirmed` |
+
+### Logic change in `ReportItem.vb`
+
+```vb
+Public ReadOnly Property ItemStatusTranslated As String
+    Get
+        Dim oStatusKey = ItemStatus.ToString()
+
+        If ItemStatus = EnvelopeStatus.DocumentSigned AndAlso
+           Envelope IsNot Nothing AndAlso
+           Envelope.IsReadAndConfirm() Then
+            oStatusKey = "DocumentSignedRaC"
+        End If
+
+        Return My.Resources.Model.ResourceManager.GetString(oStatusKey)
+    End Get
+End Property
+```
+
+`Envelope.IsReadAndConfirm()` is defined in
+`EnvelopeGenerator.Domain\Interfaces\IEnvelope.cs` and returns `true`
+when `EnvelopeTypeId == 2`.
+
+---
+
+## Files Changed
+
+| # | File | Change | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices\Jobs\FinalizeDocument\ReportItem.vb` | Added `RaC` branching logic to `ItemStatusTranslated` | ? Done |
+| 2 | `EnvelopeGenerator.Domain\Resources\Model.resx` | Added `DocumentSignedRaC` = `Gelesen und bestätigt` | ✅ Done |
+| 3 | `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices\Strings\Model.resx` | Added `DocumentSignedRaC` = `Gelesen und bestätigt` | ✅ Done |
+| 4 | `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices\Strings\Model.en.resx` | Added `DocumentSignedRaC` = `Read and confirmed` | ✅ Done |
+| 5 | `EnvelopeGenerator.Domain\Resources\Model.Designer.cs` | Added `DocumentSignedRaC` strongly-typed property | ✅ Done |
+
+---
+
+## How to resume (for next agent)
+
+All pending items are **resource file additions only**.  
+Each file needs one new `<data>` block inserted **directly after** the existing
+`DocumentSigned` entry:
+
+```xml
+<data name="DocumentSignedRaC" xml:space="preserve">
+  <value>Gelesen und best<73>tigt</value>   <!-- DE files -->
+  <!-- OR -->
+  <value>Read and confirmed</value>       <!-- EN file -->
+</data>
+```
+
+`Model.Designer.cs` also needs a new strongly-typed property added after
+`DocumentSigned`:
+
+```csharp
+/// <summary>
+///   Looks up a localized string similar to Gelesen und best<73>tigt.
+/// </summary>
+public static string DocumentSignedRaC {
+    get {
+        return ResourceManager.GetString("DocumentSignedRaC", resourceCulture);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+After changes, generate a Signature Certificate report for a **Read and Sign**
+envelope and verify:
+- History row with status 2005 shows **"Read and confirmed"** (EN)
+- History row with status 2005 shows **"Gelesen und best<73>tigt"** (DE)
+- Regular (non-RaC) envelopes still show **"Document signed"** / **"Dokument unterzeichnet"**

+# Signature Field Formatting — WISAG Feedback
+
+## Context
+
+Customer feedback received from the new WISAG signFLOW project lead (email dated 3/7/2026).  
+The signature stamp rendered inside the finalized PDF has layout issues that need to be addressed.
+
+### Current State (screenshot from customer email)
+
+```
+Signiert von ___________
+[ signature image       ]
+Armin Schneider
+C6B85E96A520C60...       ← certificate hash, too close to name
+Bereichsleiter Kern-     ← position text wraps, no spacing to date
+Anwendungen
+Frankfurt am Main
+23.06.2026, 17:13:42 GMT+2
+```
+
+### Issues Reported
+
+1. **Spacing between name and certificate number** is too small — needs more vertical gap.
+2. **Spacing between position/title and date/time** is too small — should be dynamic (expand with content).
+3. *(Secondary, out of scope here)* Multiple signature fields side-by-side scale individually, causing uneven heights.
+
+---
+
+## Agreed Solution
+
+> **"Height stays fixed. Text stretches horizontally. Beyond a certain character limit, truncate with '...'"**  
+> *(Original: "Höhe bleibt fix. Text dehnt sich horizontal aus. Ab einem bestimmten Limit wird mit '...' abgekürzt.")*
+
+### Rationale
+
+- The signature field dimensions are **fixed** (`1.77" × 1.96"`). Allowing text to wrap causes position and date rows to collide vertically.
+- Truncating long strings with ellipsis (`...`) keeps the layout deterministic and prevents overflow.
+- Per-field max-length limits allow tuning each text row independently (name, certificate, position, city, date).
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### 1. `PDFBurnerParams.vb` — Add per-field max-length dictionary
+
+Add a new property `TextMaxLengths` that maps each field name (matching `EGName` keys) to a maximum character count.
+
+```vbnet
+' EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices/Jobs/FinalizeDocument/PDFBurnerParams.vb
+
+Public Property TextMaxLengths As New Dictionary(Of String, Integer) From {
+    {"name",      28},
+    {"position",  32},
+    {"city",      24},
+    {"date",      28}
+}
+```
+
+Default values are starting points and should be tuned against real customer data.
+
+### 2. `PDFBurner.vb` — Add truncation helper and apply in `AddFormFieldValue`
+
+#### 2a. Add a private helper function
+
+```vbnet
+Private Function TruncateText(value As String, fieldName As String) As String
+    If String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) Then Return value
+
+    Dim maxLen As Integer = 0
+    If _pdfBurnerParams.TextMaxLengths IsNot Nothing AndAlso
+       _pdfBurnerParams.TextMaxLengths.TryGetValue(fieldName, maxLen) AndAlso
+       maxLen > 0 AndAlso value.Length > maxLen Then
+        Return value.Substring(0, maxLen - 3) & "..."
+    End If
+
+    Return value
+End Function
+```
+
+#### 2b. Apply truncation in the `egName`-aware overload
+
+In `AddFormFieldValue(pAnnotation As Annotation, formFieldValue As FormFieldValue)`:
+
+```vbnet
+' Before passing value to AddTextAnnot, truncate:
+Dim displayValue As String = TruncateText(formFieldValue.value, pAnnotation.egName)
+
+Dim ant = Manager.AddTextAnnot(oX, oY, oWidth, oHeight, displayValue)
+```
+
+#### 2c. Apply truncation in the element-based overload (optional)
+
+In `AddFormFieldValue(x, y, width, height, page, value)` — if a field name is available in calling context, pass it through; otherwise this path does not use `egName` and truncation can be skipped or applied with a generic fallback key.
+
+---
+
+## Affected Files
+
+| File | Change |
+|------|--------|
+| `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices/Jobs/FinalizeDocument/PDFBurnerParams.vb` | Add `TextMaxLengths As Dictionary(Of String, Integer)` |
+| `EnvelopeGenerator.CommonServices/Jobs/FinalizeDocument/PDFBurner.vb` | Add `TruncateText()` helper; apply in `AddFormFieldValue` overloads |
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- Field names (`"name"`, `"position"`, `"city"`, `"date"`) must match the keys used in `EGName.Index` dictionary (`PDFBurner.vb:443–450`).
+- The certificate hash field (e.g. `C6B85E96A520C60...`) is already truncated upstream — verify its `egName` mapping if it needs its own limit.
+- The `YOffset` / `TopMargin` values in `PDFBurnerParams` may also need adjustment to increase vertical spacing between rows. That is a separate (simpler) change.
+- This issue is **not** related to the Blazor WebUI rendering — it is purely in the GdPicture14 PDF burning pipeline.
