In the doc i read:

Important! In web applications this way cannot be used, because the menu of selecting a certificate
is displayed on a computer on what the export is in process, in other words on the server. So the user
cannot see and cannot do anything with it. In other words the export endlessly waits when the certificate
will be selected.

Reading this i assume i can't let the user decide which certificate to add to the Pdf, it was one of the options for us..

But the best option would be to have this data from the certificate stored in our databases, and so the client would add his certificate in his profile menu, then we add it to his register and depending the user executing we provide in the datasource the appropiate certificate.

One last option would be to have all the certificates from our clients stored in our server then somehow decide which certificate we must add to the pdf depending on the user.

FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\certificate.pfx", FileMode.Open);
byte[] buf = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);

StiPdfExportSettings es = new StiPdfExportSettings();
es.UseDigitalSignature = true;
es.GetCertificateFromCryptoUI = false;
es.SubjectNameString = "YourSubjectName";
es.CertificateData = buf;
es.CertificatePassword = "yourPassword";

StiReport report = new StiReport();
report.Load("yourReport.mrt");
report.Render();
report.ExportDocument(StiExportFormat.Pdf, @"c:\test.pdf", es);
