Tilman Hausherr updated PDFBOX-3853:
------------------------------------
Summary: Invisible signature's page catalog tree is not updated (was: Invisible signature's catalog tree is not updated)
> Invisible signature's page catalog tree is not updated
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-3853
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3853
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Signing
> Affects Versions: 2.0.6
> Reporter: ryuukei
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: signature
> Attachments: PDDocument.patch
>
>
> According latest Acrobat PDF 1.7 speficication:
> http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf
> Page 695, section [Signature Fields]:
> * quote 1:
> The field type ( FT ) is Sig , and the field value
> ( V ) is a signature dictionary containing the signature and specifying various at-
> tributes of the signature field.
> * quote 2:
> Like any other field, a signature field may actually be described by a widget anno-
> tation dictionary containing entries pertaining to an annotation as well as a field
> (see “Widget Annotations” on page 640). The annotation rectangle ( Rect ) in such
> a dictionary gives the position of the field on its page. Signature fields that are not
> intended to be visible should have an annotation rectangle that has zero height
> and width.
> All in all, invisible signature also should be as a Signature Field, which is one type of Annotation, thus the page catalog tree should be updated as well.
> For fixing this improvement issue, in the class PDDocument.java L351~L353, instead of terminating the process after [prepareVisibleSignature] by return, continue with later on annotation update process would be better.
> Personally I'm using itext-rups to analyse the pdf catalog structure, after applying the patch, the signature present in the catalog tree pages/page/annot/sig correctly.
