What is this?
-----------------------------------------------------------
This Python script generates a PDF file with an embedded QR code,
based on a message. This QR code contains the message signed
with your private gpg key. The purpose of this is to have a
printed signed document.

The idea is to build an Android application that verifies
signatures on these printed documents by scanning the text on
the document by for example OCR and verifies the text by checking
the QR code and verify the included signature.

ToDo
-----------------------------------------------------------
- first line missing in sign, see workaround
- strip tags like <b>
- restructure code
- smaller qr code:
  - later do signing with clearsign=False
  - strip -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- etc?
- build signature based on other things:
  - sign final grade certificates using an algorithm to make statements
    based on grades and sign these
