You should contact your CA for specific instruction on how to get a certificate. I've bought certificates and all the info is provided in the CA's site and the certificate is automatically imported to your browser and from there you can export it to a PFX to use in iText. There are more than a way to do things but they are not related to iText.

In the iText-in-action book it says the following: (page 522) keytool -certreq -keystore .keystore -alias foobar -file foobar.csr Enter keystore password: f00b4r Enter key password for <foobar>r4b00f A file foobar.csr is generated. You send this file to your CA, and you receive a Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file. This file contains your public key signed by the CA using the CA’s private key. This public key can be decrypted with the CA’s public key, which comes in the form of a Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) file. Import these files into your keystore, and you’ll be able to export a PFX file that can be used to sign your documents. Does anyone have a step-by-step instructions for importing these files into keystore? How do we export .pfx file from keystore file? Has any one successfully signed a pdf document using verisign cert as described in the book? FYI - we are using Windows 2003 server and Java 1.5.0_11 to create the csr. The code works fine with the self-signed certificate exactly as mentioned in the book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
