Marco, I think you will be interested in PDFBOX-912[1] which is a work in progress. I reviewed all the code and found that it uses a huge array to store the entire document in order to sign it, but other than that it looks good. We can change it to use streams instead of byte arrays, but that changes the proposed API and would break Thomas's code (which is outside of PDFBox).
I haven't been able to test it because I don't have any code to do the signing, just the API which lets external programs sign documents. Thomas's current signature code can not be added to PDFBox due to copyright, but he'll add a small example for basic signatures when he gets time.

I found the class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.digitalsignature.PDSignature but I'm not sure how to use it. Do you have any sample code? Or can anyone give me some ideas how I can create a PDF with a digital signature using PDFBox? Thanks a lot! Marco -- GMX DSL Doppel-Flat ab 19,99 Euro/mtl.!
