Dear colleagues, I'm trying to create a visual signature in a PDF document using PDF Box like this:
PDDocument.addSignature(signature, signItfc, signatureOptions); Unfortunately I'm not sure what the content of signatureOptions.visualSignature should be. I went through this mailing list, the PDF Box Examples project, StackOverflow and I googled a lot but unfortunately I was not able to find any piece of example code or documentation on this. The only mention is in a post in from 2011-11-03, saying one should be able to use iText to generate it. I also tried to generate the content using createPDocumentSignature() from the 2011-11-03 post but no luck, I'm getting ClassCastException (although the structure built up in createPDocumentSignature looks like what PDF Box wants, at the first sight). Is there anyone who has succeeded generating the right content of the input stream? Not necessarily using iText, in fact we are trying to replace iText with PDF Box. Any help, example or hint would be much appreciated. Are there any plans to update the SignatureOptions class to accept a structured Java object instead of an InputStream? That would make things a lot easier. Thank you very much!
