java.lang.Object
  extended by com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper
All Implemented Interfaces:
PdfEncryptionSettings, PdfViewerPreferences

public class PdfStamper
extends java.lang.Object
implements PdfViewerPreferences, PdfEncryptionSettings

Applies extra content to the pages of a PDF document. This extra content can be all the objects allowed in PdfContentByte including pages from other Pdfs. The original PDF will keep all the interactive elements including bookmarks, links and form fields.

It is also possible to change the field values and to flatten them. New fields can be added but not flattened.

os - the output stream or null to keep the document in the temporary file
pdfVersion - the new pdf version or '\0' to keep the same version as the original document
tempFile - location of the temporary file. If it's a directory a temporary file will be created there. If it's a file it will be used directly. The file will be deleted on exit unless os is null. In that case the document can be retrieved directly from the temporary file. If it's null no temporary file will be created and memory will be used
append - if true the signature and all the other content will be added as a new revision thus not invalidating existing signatures
Returns:
a PdfStamper
Throws:
DocumentException - on error
java.io.IOException - on error

createSignature

public static PdfStamper createSignature(PdfReader reader,
                                         java.io.OutputStream os,
                                         char pdfVersion)
                                  throws DocumentException,
                                         java.io.IOException
Applies a digital signature to a document. The returned PdfStamper can be used normally as the signature is only applied when closing.

Note that the pdf is created in memory.

A possible use is:

 KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");
 ks.load(new FileInputStream("my_private_key.pfx"), "my_password".toCharArray());
 String alias = (String)ks.aliases().nextElement();
 PrivateKey key = (PrivateKey)ks.getKey(alias, "my_password".toCharArray());
 Certificate[] chain = ks.getCertificateChain(alias);
 PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("original.pdf");
 FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("signed.pdf");
 PdfStamper stp = PdfStamper.createSignature(reader, fout, '\0');
 PdfSignatureAppearance sap = stp.getSignatureAppearance();
 sap.setCrypto(key, chain, null, PdfSignatureAppearance.WINCER_SIGNED);
 sap.setReason("I'm the author");
 sap.setLocation("Lisbon");
 // comment next line to have an invisible signature
 sap.setVisibleSignature(new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200), 1, null);
 stp.close();
 

Parameters:
reader - the original document
os - the output stream
pdfVersion - the new pdf version or '\0' to keep the same version as the original document
Returns:
a PdfStamper
Throws:
DocumentException - on error
java.io.IOException - on error
