Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3017:
----------------------------------------
I'd propose doing a rewrite of the creation of the visual signature. IMHO we
could reflect the options one would have within Adobe Acrobat Dialogs because
these are familiar. We could also support supplying special PDFs as templates
for the signature similar to what's described in
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/DigSig/appearances.html.
This would also fit well with the work I'm about to start for AcroForms using
'styles' for fields to hide the complexity of setting the appearance parameters.
> Improve document signing
> ------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-3017
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3017
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Signing
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Attachments: pdfa_signed_insivible.pdf
>
>
> Improve signing code:
> - incremental save only works for signatures and doesn't respect certificates
> such as Adobe Extended Usage Rights
> - -{{prepareNonVisualSignature}} clears the AcroForm DR
> {{acroForm.setDefaultResources(null)}} which is not good if there are other
> form fields-
> - visual/nonVisualSignature should move into the {{interactive.forms}}
> package and be handled within the signature field
> - verify signature (to have tests that go full circle)
> - document or refactor / rewrite visible labyrinthine signature code
> - why is it not possible to pass only the signatureField to addSignature,
> instead having to create a COSDocument with a page and annotations that has
> the signature field, and that must be searched for in
> {{prepareVisibleSignature()}}?
> - support rotated pages (see
> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34012293/pdfbox-sign-landscape-file-error/34359956#34359956
> )
> - make sure that signed PDF/A files are still PDF/A (see
> http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tn0006_digital_signatures_in_pdfa-1_2008-03-14.pdf
> ); /ID possibly not OK; /Annots is possibly required ([~tilman] removed this
> for invisible signatures); test signed files with PDF-Tools and with
> preflight; test whether "bad" signatures are detected by preflight
> - PDFBOX-3363 - why is the stream cached in a file? Should it be done in
> memory?
> - remove {{setVisualSignature(PDVisibleSigProperties
> visSignatureProperties)}} from SignatureOptions.java, all it does is to call
> {{visSignatureProperties.getVisibleSignature()}} which returns an
> {{InputStream}}, and this is already available
> - {{checkSignatureField}} violates the "do one thing" rule
> - ... your ideas...
