Thanks for the advice, both these messages clarify a ton of stuff!
I was having issues setting up pdfbox-1.8.10 in IntelliJ Idea but I think I
almost have it working except for one dependency below seems to be
unattainable, any ideas?
<*dependency*>
<*groupId*>com.levigo.jbig2</*groupId*>
<*artifactId*>levigo-jbig2-imageio</*artifactId*>
<*version*>1.6.2</*version*>
<*scope*>test</*scope*>
</*dependency*>

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.

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> <
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

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.
Regards,
Waldemar

(1.8.10) to fill out and sign a PDF form. 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).
