Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-5344:
-----------------------------------------
In your case, I think all you need is to add the PDSignatureField object to the
update list and call the other saveIncremental() method. Try it.
What we could do is to improve the signing examples to catch this corner case
(by using the {{PDAcroform.getFields()}} method which gets the root level
fields) so that people notice it and change their code accordingly.

> Key: PDFBOX-5344
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5344
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Signing
> Affects Versions: 2.0.24
> Reporter: Laurence Urbain
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: nested-signature-field.pdf

> Hi,
> I am not able add a signature to a document if the signature field is nested
> (the signature field is not a direct child of the acro form).
> When I call the method PDDocument.addSignature(), the signature field is
> properly marked as "needs to be updated" but not its parents.
> As a result, when the incremental save is done, the changes are lost.
> To be able to add the signature for such field, all the parent fields in the
> hierachy should also be marked as "needs to be updated".
> Please find a sample file attached.
> Here is the code snippet to build it:
> {code:java}
> final PDDocument pdDocument = new PDDocument();
> final PDPage page = new PDPage();
> pdDocument.addPage(page);
> PDAcroForm form = new PDAcroForm(pdDocument);
> pdDocument.getDocumentCatalog().setAcroForm(form);
> final PDNonTerminalField level1 = new PDNonTerminalField(form);
> level1.setPartialName("level1");
> form.getFields().add(level1);
> final PDNonTerminalField level2 = new PDNonTerminalField(form);
> level2.setPartialName("level2");
> level1.setChildren(List.of(level2));
> final PDSignatureField signatureField = new PDSignatureField(form);
> signatureField.setPartialName("field1");
> PDAnnotationWidget widget = signatureField.getWidgets().get(0);
> widget.setRectangle(new PDRectangle(50, 700, 200, 20));
> widget.setPage(page);
> widget.setPrinted(true);
> page.getAnnotations().add(widget);
> level2.setChildren(List.of(signatureField)); {code}
> Thanks
