  • Constructor Details

    • Signature

      public Signature(String filePathToCertificate, String password) throws IOException
      Initializes a new instance of the Signature class using a .pfx or .p12 digital signature file.
      Parameters:
      filePathToCertificate - The file path to certificate.
      password - The certificate's password.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs reading from the stream

    • Signature

      public Signature(Path filePathToCertificate, String password) throws IOException
      Initializes a new instance of the Signature class using a .pfx or .p12 digital signature file.
      Parameters:
      filePathToCertificate - The file path to certificate.
      password - The certificate's password.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs reading from the stream

    • Signature

      public Signature(byte[] certificateRawData, String password)
      Initializes a new instance of the Signature class.
      Parameters:
      certificateRawData - The certificate as a binary data (byte array).
      password - The certificate's password.

    • Signature

      public Signature(byte[] certificateRawData, String password, Instant signatureDate, byte[] signatureImage, String signingContact, String signingLocation, String signingReason)
      Initializes a new instance of the Signature class.
      Parameters:
      certificateRawData - the certificate as a binary data (byte array).
      password - the certificate's password.
      signatureDate - the date and time of the digital signature. If left null, the signature will be timestamped at the millisecond that the PdfDocument is saved to Disk or Stream.
      signatureImage - a visual image for the sign, often a PNG of a human signature or company stamp (optional).

      This appends a visual signature in addition to cryptographic signing.

      signingContact - the contact person or email address for signing related inquiries (optional).
      signingLocation - the physical location the PDF was signed (optional).
      signingReason - the reason the PDF was signed (optional).
