Michael Klink commented on PDFBOX-3017:
---------------------------------------

Strictly speaking the PDF/A-1 spec says in 6.9 Interactive Forms:

{quote}
Every form field shall have an appearance dictionary associated with the 
field's data.
{quote}

This would support the PDF/A CC paper.

On the other hand this section is introduced by

{quote}
The intent of the requirements of this subclause is to ensure that there is no 
ambiguity about the rendering of form fields.
{quote}

This can be _interpreted_ to imply that these requirements only refer to form 
fields which are rendered at all. So, invisible signatures might not be subject 
to these requirements.

>             Project: PDFBox
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: AcroForm, Signing
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0
>            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
>             Fix For: 2.1.0

> Improve signing code:
> - incremental save only works for signatures and doesn't respect certificates 
> such as Adobe Extended Usage Rights
> - -{{prepareNonVisualSignature}} clears the AcroForm DR 
> {{acroForm.setDefaultResources(null)}} which is not good if there are other 
> form fields-
> - visual/nonVisualSignature should move into the {{interactive.forms}} 
> package and be handled within the signature field
> - -verify signature (to have tests that go full circle)- done June 2016
> - document or refactor / rewrite visible labyrinthine signature code
> - why is it not possible to pass only the signatureField to addSignature, 
> instead having to create a COSDocument with a page and annotations that has 
> the signature field, and that must be searched for in 
> {{prepareVisibleSignature()}}?
> - support rotated pages (see 
> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34012293/pdfbox-sign-landscape-file-error/34359956#34359956
>  )
> - -make sure that signed PDF/A files are still PDF/A (see 
> http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tn0006_digital_signatures_in_pdfa-1_2008-03-14.pdf
>  ); /ID possibly not OK; /Annots is possibly required ([~tilman] removed this 
> for invisible signatures); test signed files with PDF-Tools and with 
> preflight- tested, they are OK with PDF-Tools and preflight
> - test whether "bad" signatures are detected by preflight (search in old 
> issues)
> - -PDFBOX-3363 - why is the stream cached in a file? Should it be done in 
> memory?- done on July 15, 2016
> - remove {{setVisualSignature(PDVisibleSigProperties 
> visSignatureProperties)}} from SignatureOptions.java, all it does is to call 
> {{visSignatureProperties.getVisibleSignature()}} which returns an 
> {{InputStream}}, and this is already available
> - {{checkSignatureField}} violates the "do one thing" rule
> - decide whether the whole certificate chain should be passed in the sample 
> code, instead of only the first one
> - check certificate chain, revocation lists, etc, only if needed by users, 
> code 
> [here|https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/tags/cxf-2.4.1/distribution/src/main/release/samples/sts_issue_operation/src/main/java/demo/sts/provider/cert/]
> - deprecate / remove all PDVisibleSignDesigner constructors except those with 
> a PDDocument object, to avoid a file being opened twice
> - ... your ideas...
