Applying the Signature
Now that the security handler and signature information have been created, you may
invoke the signature field’s
signatureSign
method, as shown in the code below:
// Obtain the signature field object:
var f = this.getField("myAuthorSignatureField");
// Sign the field:
f.signatureSign(
oSig: ppklite,
oInfo: myInfo,
cDIPath: "/C/mySignedFile.pdf",
bUI: true,
cLegalAttest: "Fonts are not embedded to reduce file size"
); //end of signature
Creating a New Signature Appearance
You may create a new signature appearance through the Acrobat user interface, access
signature appearances through the
appearances
property of the
securityHandler
object, and use the signature field’s
signatureSetSeedValue
method, which accepts
a
SeedValue
object used to control signature properties.
One of the
SeedValue
properties is called
subFilter
, which is an array of acceptable
formats to use for the signature. In the following example, the signing handler is set to
PPKMS
and the format is set to
adbe.pksc7.sha1
:
var f = this.getField("mySignatureField");
f.signatureSetSeedValue({
filter: "Adobe.PPKMS",
subFilter: ["adbe.pksc7.sha1"],
flags: 0x03
});
Clearing a Digital Signature from a Signature Field
To clear a signature, invoke the
doc
object’s
resetForm
method. In the example below,
mySignatureField
is cleared:
var f = this.getField("mySignatureField");
this.resetForm(f);
