(AutoIt) PDF Sign Unsigned Signature Field
Demonstrates how to sign a PDF's unsigned signature field.
Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.85 or greater.
; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
$oPdf = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Pdf")
; Load a PDF containing an unsigned signature field.
Local $bSuccess = $oPdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/unsigned_sig_field/due_diligence.pdf")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
ConsoleWrite($oPdf.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
Exit
EndIf
; A PDF with an unsigned signature field appears in Adobe Acrobat as shown below.
; (When the mouse pointer is hovered over the field, a tooltip will likely show a message
; such as "Unsigned signature field (Click to sign)".
; This example code will automatically find the unsigned signature field,
; and signs using your certificate. It automatically sizes the text to the space alotted
; for the signature.
; Options for signing are specified in JSON.
$oJson = ObjCreate("Chilkat.JsonObject")
; In most cases, the signingCertificateV2 and signingTime attributes are required.
$oJson.UpdateInt("signingCertificateV2",1)
$oJson.UpdateInt("signingTime",1)
; We don't specify the page or a specific location because Chilkat will automatically
; find the unsigned signature field and use its location and size and will scale the
; signatures visual appearance (text + graphics) to the correct size required to fit.
; We only need to indicate the desire to fill the unsigned signature field.
$oJson.UpdateBool("appearance.fillUnsignedSignatureField",True)
; Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.90, if a PDF contains multiple unsigned signature fields,
; the field to be signed can be chosen by name:
; To list unsigned signature fields, see this example: List PDF Unsigned Signature Fields
$oJson.UpdateString("unsignedSignatureField","doctor_signature")
; Note: If the PDF document contains multiple unsigned signature fields, Chilkat will
; sign the 1st one found.
; In this example, the appearance of the digital signature will contain three lines:
; 1) The signing certificate's common name
; 2) The current date/time
; 3) Some arbitrary text.
; The keyword "cert_cn" is replaced with the Certificate's Subject Common Name.
; The keyword "current_dt" is replaced with the current date/time.
; Any number of appearance text lines can be added.
$oJson.UpdateString("appearance.text[0]","Digitally signed by: cert_cn")
$oJson.UpdateString("appearance.text[1]","current_dt")
$oJson.UpdateString("appearance.text[2]","The crazy brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
; This signature will include one of the built-in SVG graphics (green-check-grey-circle).
$oJson.UpdateString("appearance.image","green-check-grey-circle")
$oJson.UpdateString("appearance.imagePlacement","left")
; Load the signing certificate. (Use your own certificate.)
$oCert = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Cert")
$bSuccess = $oCert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/myPdfSigningCert.pfx","secret")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
ConsoleWrite($oCert.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
Exit
EndIf
; Tell the pdf object to use the certificate for signing.
$bSuccess = $oPdf.SetSigningCert($oCert)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
ConsoleWrite($oPdf.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
Exit
EndIf
$bSuccess = $oPdf.SignPdf($oJson,"qa_output/due_diligence_signed.pdf")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
ConsoleWrite($oPdf.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
Exit
EndIf
ConsoleWrite("The PDF has been successfully cryptographically signed." & @CRLF)
; The appearance of the signature appears in Adobe Acrobat as shown below.
