PFX, P7B, P7C, CER Examples? I think you are quiet confused about signing and certificate types. P12 and PFX are just containers for private+public keys. CER, DER and so on are also just encoded certificates - mostly only used for public keys however - but you can also encode private keys of course. It boils down that every container/encoding you specified is always an X.509 certificate - just in different forms. It is up to you to create a construct to parse CER/DER/P12 whatever to sign your pdf - itext has nothing to do with it. You could use bouncycastle for example to parse these encoded certificates an get a generic PrivateKey or PublicKey java object, which can be used for signing. --- Nick Kowalewicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Supported Signature Certificates.. > > What are supported signature certificate types for > signing a PDF using > iText? > > ?.FDF {Acrobat FDF Data Exchange} > ?.P7C {Certificate Message Syntax PKCS#7} > ?.P7B {Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard} > ?.CER {DER Encoded Binary X.509} > ?.CER {Base 64 Encoded X.509} > ?.P12 {Personal Information Exchange PKCS#12} > ?.PFX {Personal Information Exchange PKCS#12} > > I have successfully signed a PDF with a .PFX > certificate, but, could you > give a simple example of how to sign a PDF with > other types of certificates > files using iText? {Ex: P7B, P7C, and CER} > > > > Thank you in advance! > > > Regards, > > > Nick K. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems? > Stop. > Now Search log events and configuration files using > AJAX and a browser. > Download your FREE copy of Splunk now >> http://get.splunk.com/> _______________________________________________ > iText-questions mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions > Buy the iText book: > http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/ > ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Luggage?
