or download the sources for that version and search for CreateVisibleSignature.java and first get it to run with your certificate / pin / keystore / PKI device etc.

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> < 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> / < 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 <http://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 <http://12.5.6.19> Widget Annotations.

All form fields and signature lines will be on the document long before this. It needs to be signed with a certificate and it needs to operate very much like it does in acrobat, were you see a picture and can click on it for signature details. I’ve attached my short code to keep this simple… my biggest issue has been related to understanding the object hierarchies and purpose… documentation is sparse so it confuses me (e.g. PDSignature.setContents <http://PDSignature.setContents> : “Sets the contents.” … doesn’t really tell me much, I’m guessing this is for setting the img or perhaps the actual certificate). > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org <mailto:users-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@pdfbox.apache.org <mailto:users-h...@pdfbox.apache.org>
