Why do you need to preserve the certificates? Someone willing to alter the text would remove any certificate too, and the recipients of the modified file will have no way to know it has been modified (other than going to the original source and realizing that "hey! why doesn't my file have a password?", which is basically equivalent to providing a hash/signature/digest).
