here is the piece of code that I'm using:

realSignature) throws IOException { File inFile = new File(inPDF);
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(inFile); PDSignature signature =
doc.getLastSignatureDictionary(); int[] br = signature.getByteRange();

thank you for your effort, but the update doesn't actually help me.
I add the signature object (name, location, reason), save incremental for
external signature, then I add the empty signature and save the file on disk.
Now, I could get the ByteRange with before saving the file, but I don't have a
place to store it. It's easier to get it from the saved file in the 2nd step.
In the 2nd step, I load the pdf as a PDDocument, get the last signature and get
the ByteRange.
Anyways, your comment made it more clear to understand that we must provide
an empty signature to make it all works.
I guess that the following features would be nice:
- No need to add the empty signature byte array;
- A method from PDFBOX to replace the empty signature with the valid signature;
I don't know if it's possible, but the first time I tried to add the signature
object, get the file content for signature and discard the changes. In the
second step, I added the signature object with the same info, save incremental
for external signature, add the signature and save the file. The signature got
invalid. I guess the signature object has some Date/Time related info.
The method that gets the empty array is also saving, that's the problem.
Re method to replace the signature: the problem is that this can't be
done in PDFBox. If you'd just set it on the COS level and save, the
signature wouldn't be valid. So what we need is something that does it
on the file level. Feel free to contribute your code. Probably something
with RandomAccessFile.

Tilman,
thanks to your help I was able to make it works.
But, I had to add a empty signature hash to get it working. Like
this:externalSigning.setSignature(new byte[100]);
Otherwise, the PDFBox would create a empty file after closing the document.And
I needed to save the file, because the ByteRange wasn't with the right value
before saving. Its value was something like this:0 1000000000000 1000000000000
1000000000000
So, here is what I did:
- Followed the CreateSignature example to get the content for my signature
service and added a empty signature before closing the PDDocument;- The first
step created a PDF with an invalid signature (an empty one);- Signed the
content with my signature service;- Then, I loaded the PDDocument, got the last
signature, got the ByteRange and then, closed the PDDocumento;- With the
ByteRange in hands, I was able to open the PDF (with the empty signature) and
replace the empty signature with the real signature;
Hello Fabricio,
I've now updated PDFBox as explained, also added a comment in the
"visible" example explaining my suggestion plus your important remark
(must add a dummy signature).
This has been done in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3552
You can access a snapshot at
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pdfbox/pdfbox-app/2.0.4-SNAPSHOT/
Please test it and give feedback, i.e. that you can now skip the
"middle" step, i.e. you can now get the byterange immediately after
adding your dummy signature.
Don't hesitate to tell whether my comment in the "visible" example is
confusing or unclear.
Tilman
Thanks again Tilman.

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.
Tilman
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).
