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.

What you have to do is to access the PDF file, seek to the appropriate position, and then write the hex string of your signature.

If the byterange is

0 61887 65989 21205

then go to 61888, and write there.

To get the byte range, as I explained yesterday, you need to access the PDF file with PDFBox again earlier but after the (unfinished) "signing", get the field (you know its name), and then the signature, then the ByteRange ( signature.getByteRange() ). Close again.

So:
1) unfinished sign, close
2) reload with pdfbox to get the byte range, close
3) reload with random access class, access appropriate position, write sig in ascii hex, close

I can't give much help now because I'm busy until mid next week.

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

Pombo Koch:show/hide original textYou would have to 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).
