Sure, it was of course meant a like a yoke.

We should probably leave that example out though. I could not really find a 
source for what is legal where etc. and I don't want to make wrong claims 
about European Laws. We have used it quite a lot in Germany and Austria. 

But maybe we can just say that with Okular / GnuPG you can do Qualified 
electronic signatures and then just link the Wikipedia Article to explain [1]? 
Details about the supported ECC Curves which are now supported by GnuPG and 
technical part of the PDF Signature Spec, but are not supported by other 
clients would then really be more for a technical article

The first screenshot is from installing Gpg4win, because Okular is not yet 
installed by default. So users have to make an additional click to get it.
I don't really think this screenshot needs to be included but I added it 
anyway.

If that does not work for you we can of course do some additional screenshots.

Here is how you verify a document signed by a different Software. I included 
Kleopatra at the top to show that it automatically imports and validates the 
certificates.

Here is how you sign "premade" signature fields which can be used for "co 
signing" a document.

And my favorite one, sign with including your own stamp or logo:
