>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3853
>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Signing
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.6
>            Reporter: ryuukei
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: signature
>         Attachments: PDDocument.patch

> According latest Acrobat PDF 1.7 speficication:
> http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf
> Page 695, section [Signature Fields]:
> * quote 1:
> The field type ( FT ) is Sig , and the field value
> ( V ) is a signature dictionary containing the signature and specifying 
> various at-
> tributes of the signature field.
> * quote 2:
> Like any other field, a signature field may actually be described by a widget 
> anno-
> tation dictionary containing entries pertaining to an annotation as well as a 
> field
> (see “Widget Annotations” on page 640). The annotation rectangle ( Rect ) in 
> such
> a dictionary gives the position of the field on its page. Signature fields 
> that are not
> intended to be visible should have an annotation rectangle that has zero 
> height
> and width.
> All in all, invisible signature also should be as a Signature Field, which is 
> one type of Annotation, thus the page catalog tree should be updated as well. 
> For fixing this improvement issue, in the class PDDocument.java L351~L353, 
> instead of terminating the process after [prepareVisibleSignature] by return, 
> continue with later on annotation update process would be better.  
> Personally I'm using itext-rups to analyse the pdf catalog structure, after 
> applying the patch, the signature present in the catalog tree 
> pages/page/annot/sig correctly.
