Hello Wade, The documentation is sparse, because PDFBox gives you all objects according to the PDF specification. The naming convention is matching or very close to the names used in the PDF specification. Take a look here: https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html <https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html>
Chapter 12.8 Digital Signatures explains the signature process in PDF. PDFBox has a lot of very good examples here: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/signature/ <https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/signature/> > PDSignature.setContents() This will take the CMS signature, that you have to create outside of the PDF. Take a look at the examples above. The visual part of a signature has nothing to do with the digital signature. The visual part is a widget annotation. Take a look at chapter 12.5.6.19 Widget Annotations.
