>    Affects Versions: 2.0.17
>            Reporter: Stefan Strobl
>            Assignee: Tilman Hausherr

> According to TechNote 0006: Digital Signatures in PDF/A-1
> [http://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tn0006_digital_signatures_in_pdfa-1_2008-03-141.pdf] Section 2.4 "The visual appearance must also exist for an invisible signature but may be empty." 
> This should be easily handled by modifying PDDocument as indicated below:
> {code:java}
> private void prepareNonVisibleSignature(PDSignatureField signatureField)
>         throws IOException
> {
>     // "Signature fields that are not intended to be visible shall
>     // have an annotation rectangle that has zero height and width."
>     // Set rectangle for non-visual signature to rectangle array [ 0 0 0 0 ]
>     signatureField.getWidgets().get(0).setRectangle(new PDRectangle());
> +    signatureField.getWidgets().get(0).setAppearance(new PDAppearanceDictionary());
> }
> {code}
> If this is an acceptable solution I would be happy to provide a PR
