It is really 7.0 or one of the patch/updates? Perhaps if you updated to at least the 7.0.9 update, it might also be fixed...

Using iText, I am creating a PDF document from a series of TIFF images.

Then (next pass), I am digitally signing it, using an invisible signature.



However, I place my invisible signature on page 1 of the document, using

   sap.setVisibleSignature(new Rectangle(0,0,0,0), 1, fieldName);



When printing such document from Adobe Reader 7, all pages following the page 1 (with my invisible signature) are “printed” using some bogus scaling (i.e. 200 times bigger, rotated 180 degrees) – despite showing ‘right’ in the reader.

The problem does not happen with Reader 8.1, and I found only one ‘other’ complaint about this kind of a problem on the web (suggested workaround: remove the signature).

A simple workaround is printing pages in reverse order... but how do I tell the customer?



I tried several things, such as resetting the clip box on each page, or saving/restoring pdfStamper byte contents before/after preClose(), but none of that worked…



So my current workaround is placing my invisible signature on the _last_ page of the document. This, of course, results in a screwed up print when someone decides to print pages in the reverse order.



Is there some better approach to fixing this (probably Adobe Reader 7 bug)?
