Tilman, thanks for your reply.
I'm not familiarized with PDF structure, this way, I don't know how to insert
the signature manually into the PDF.
This code works for me to sign in "one step":
File inFile = new File("IN_PDF_FILE");PDDocument doc =
PDDocument.load(inFile);PDSignature signature = new
PDSignature();signature.setFilter(PDSignature.FILTER_ADOBE_PPKLITE);signature.setSubFilter(PDSignature.SUBFILTER_ADBE_PKCS7_DETACHED);signature.setName("USERNAME");signature.setLocation("LOCATION");signature.setReason("TESTING");doc.addSignature(signature);File
outFile = new File("OUT_PDF_FILE");FileOutputStream fos = new
FileOutputStream(outFile);ExternalSigningSupport externalSigning =
doc.saveIncrementalForExternalSigning(fos);MessageDigest digest =
MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");byte[] content=
IOUtils.toByteArray(externalSigning.getContent());byte[] hash =
digest.digest(content);externalSigning.setSignature(VALUE_RETURNED_FROM_MY_SIGNATURE_SERVICE);doc.close();
But, I can't run the following line because I recieve the
"VALUE_RETURNED_FROM_MY_SIGNATURE_SERVICE" value in a future
time:externalSigning.setSignature(VALUE_RETURNED_FROM_MY_SIGNATURE_SERVICE);
So, I tried using all that code, except the "externalSigning.setSignature"
method. Then, in my 2nd step, I wrote it all again (from PDDocumento.load()
until doc.close()).It sign the file, but the signature is invalid.
It would be nice If you create the new feature.Meanwhile, how could I add the
signature manually? I have no idea.
Thanks,Fabricio P Koch

use the new "external" strategy that exists since 2.0.3, but without writing
the signature. Before closing, get the ByteRange from the signature object.
HOWEVER... that one isn't available, because after being calculated the
ByteRange isn't assigned back to the PDFBox structure.
(Open a signed PDF with NOTEPAD++ and search for ByteRange to understand what
II mean)
So you'd have to reload the PDF; get the field (you know its name), and then
the signature, then the ByteRange ( signature.getByteRange() ). Close again.
Then write the signature that you got at the appropriate place in the file.
This can be done without PDFBox.
I could do a change that you can access the byte range, i.e. don't have to
reload the PDF just to get the byte range. However this will have to wait until
mid next week, because I wouldn't have the time to become active if it doens't
work. (Although I just tested it).
