Re: [iText-questions] Signing from hash, not rangestream.

Hi Javadoc, are yu really going in the right direction ? I would presume the rangestream the most important part when it comes to signing PDFs. We process most part of the signature outside iText in a different crypto provider, but praise the lord every day for the availability of the rangestre

[iText-questions] Signing from hash, not rangestream.

I've been modifying the standard itext example of signing with an external signature. Normally you use the Signature.update(byte[]) method to input the range stream into to the signature object and then call Signature.sign() to return the digest. I would like to use a MessageDigest to return the P

Well... A PDF is always set to open on Page 1 (or page 0, depending on how you count ;). HOWEVER, through the use of an "open action" (see ISO 32000-1, 12.6) the document can instruct a conforming reader to do something else - such as "go to a different page in the document". There are variou

You can extract metadata from the PDF - so if the metadata is already present in the proper format(s), then iText will happily retrieve it for you. However, if not, and you would need to "scrape the text", then iText doesn't have what you need. Leonard -Original Message- From: CGP [mai
