bal commented on PDFBOX-4556: ----------------------------- hi, as you said i have tried with the 5 line code as you suggested and visibleSignature.pdf is generated, i am attaching the PDF for you reference. only blank box with no visual representation of the signature is shown in pdf but when i open that pdf with notepad++ i have seen the image then why it is not showing visually? i tried to create the template PDF as in createvisualsignature2 example but getting null pointer exception at the the PDAppearanceDictionary see below code PDAppearanceDictionary appearance = new PDAppearanceDictionary(); appearance.getCOSObject().setDirect(true); PDAppearanceStream appearanceStream = new PDAppearanceStream(form.getCOSStream()); appearance.setNormalAppearance(appearanceStream); widget.setAppearance(appearance); Also getting the same error "Could not read all needed objects from template" at the addsignature when i return the template as inputstream. I have checked with the debugging that annotation and signaturefield is set with the acroform but i am not sure it is set or not. I have attached the pdf with name "pdfAnnotation.pdf" for this. please check and let me know if annotation and signaturefield is set or not with the acroform. > how the visual representation of the signature is achieved > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: PDFBOX-4556 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4556 > Project: PDFBox > Issue Type: Wish > Components: .NET > Affects Versions: 1.8.16 > Reporter: bal > Priority: Major > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
