[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-1558) Unused PDSignature class should be removed

Chuck Houpt created PDFBOX-1558:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Unused PDSignature class should be removed
                 Key: PDFBOX-1558
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1558
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PDModel
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Chuck Houpt
            Priority: Minor


In 1.8.0, the uses of class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDSignature have been replace with ....form.PFSignatureField, but the old ...form.PDSignature class still exists.

This can be confusing when upgrading to PDFBox 1.8.0 -- code that tests for the presence of PDSignature instances will compile, but fail to work correctly. Removing the old PDSignature will give upgraders a more helpful compilation error.

The old ...form.PDSignature class should be removed or the new ...form.PDSignatureField should be renamed to completely replace it.
