3 days in trying to learn PDFBox 1.8.10 source code examples.
I think I finally got it to run, CreateVisibleSignatures.java. The output
was the following indicating I need to pass in some arguments:
java org.apache.pdfbox.examples.signature.CreateVisibleSignature
<pkcs12-keystore-file> <pin> <input-pdf> <sign-image>
Questions
1. Do you folks have example keystore/pdf/sign-images (just so I can rule
out issues with my files)?
2. Where do the keystore/pdf/sign-images need to be put?
3. How does this class know which signature field to use for each
certificate based signature? My form has 8 signature lines, but there is no
PDSignatureField argument for this function so I don't see how this could
work.

Use this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
<artifactId>jbig2-imageio</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
</dependency>
or (older with some bugs, and I doubt you'll need it for signing anyway)
<dependency>
<groupId>com.levigo.jbig2</groupId>
<artifactId>levigo-jbig2-imageio</artifactId>
<version>1.6.5</version>
</dependency>
