(Ruby) 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.
require 'chilkat'
# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
pdf = Chilkat::CkPdf.new()
# Load a PDF containing an unsigned signature field.
success = pdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/unsigned_sig_field/due_diligence.pdf")
if (success == false)
print pdf.lastErrorText() + "\n";
exit
end
# 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.
json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
# In most cases, the signingCertificateV2 and signingTime attributes are required.
json.UpdateInt("signingCertificateV2",1)
json.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.
json.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
json.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.
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[0]","Digitally signed by: cert_cn")
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[1]","current_dt")
json.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).
json.UpdateString("appearance.image","green-check-grey-circle")
json.UpdateString("appearance.imagePlacement","left")
# Load the signing certificate. (Use your own certificate.)
cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/pfx/myPdfSigningCert.pfx","secret")
if (success == false)
print cert.lastErrorText() + "\n";
exit
end
# Tell the pdf object to use the certificate for signing.
success = pdf.SetSigningCert(cert)
if (success == false)
print pdf.lastErrorText() + "\n";
exit
end
success = pdf.SignPdf(json,"qa_output/due_diligence_signed.pdf")
if (success == false)
print pdf.lastErrorText() + "\n";
exit
end
print "The PDF has been successfully cryptographically signed." + "\n";
# The appearance of the signature appears in Adobe Acrobat as shown below.
