[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-3853) Invisible signature's page
catalog tree is not updated
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3853?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16074586#comment-16074586 ]

----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your answer, at least we have one agreed point. :D Even there is an adverbial 'usually', I don't get the point and benefit for treating visible and invisible signature differently in updating catalog tree.
I have client (JS in general) process for detecting signatures and some operations there. In older version pdfbox (1.8 actually), it works, after updating to 2.0.6 I found this issue. As I mentioned in original report, I'm reporting this patch as improvement. Does it cause any harmful result if we update the catalog tree for non visible signature?

> 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.
