Hi folks,

I signed a PDF document using itext-paulo-153 and JDK 1.4.2. Acrobat Reader 7.0 complains that the signature is okay but the document has changed (3 misc changes) ... this is the same problem that Joachim Kerschbaumer had in February (hello, by the way).

+) Paulo meant this has something to do with the certificate so I tested it with two different certificates to no avail - I agree that the A-CERT certificate is touchy so I used a webtrust.de certificate as well

+) I signed the same PDF manually with Acrobat Writer 6.0 and 7.0 and this problem does not appear

+) Not being lazy I tested it with the german and english version of Acrobat Reader but this doesn't make any difference

+) Quite interestingly the number of changes are depending on the usage of visible/invisible signature. I assumed that the Acrobat Reader 7.0 might tinker around depending on the PDF version so I enforced writing out PDF 1.5

+) This problem does not appear when using Acrobat Reader 6.0 - so this problem might be introduced with PDF 1.6 and Acrobat 7.0?!

Has anyone an idea what's going on?!

Thanks in advance

Siegfied Goeschl
