Adding Text Field to Digitally signed PDf breaks applied signature - pdf

I am trying to add text field with value using PDFBOX-3.0.0 to digitally signed document which allows form filling but it makes applied signature invalid.
Code
try ( InputStream resource = getClass().getResourceAsStream("SignatureVlidationTest.pdf");
PDDocument document = Loader.loadPDF(resource);
) {
PDPage page = document.getPage(0);
page.getCOSObject().setNeedToBeUpdated(true);
PDAcroForm acroForm = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
acroForm.getCOSObject().setNeedToBeUpdated(true);
PDTextField textBox = new PDTextField(acroForm);
textBox.setPartialName("SampleField");
textBox.setMultiline(true);
textBox.setDefaultAppearance("/Helv 14 Tf 1 0 0 rg");
textBox.setReadOnly(true);
textBox.setValue("label");
float pw = page.getMediaBox().getUpperRightX();
float ph = page.getMediaBox().getUpperRightY();
// Specify the widget annotation associated with the field
PDAnnotationWidget widget = textBox.getWidgets().get(0);
PDRectangle rect = new PDRectangle(pw - 110, ph - 25, 110, 25);
widget.setRectangle(rect);
widget.getCOSObject().setNeedToBeUpdated(true);
widget.setPage(page);
widget.setPrinted(true);
widget.setReadOnly(true);
page.getAnnotations().add(widget);
page.getCOSObject().setNeedToBeUpdated(true);
acroForm.getFields().add(textBox);
document.getDocumentCatalog().getCOSObject().setNeedToBeUpdated(true);
Set<COSDictionary> objectsToWrite = new HashSet<>();
objectsToWrite.add(page.getCOSObject());
document.saveIncremental(new FileOutputStream(new File(RESULT_FOLDER, "SignatureVlidationTest-ImageAnnotationAdded.pdf")),objectsToWrite );
}

PDFs generated with iTextSharp generated watermark giving error

We are applying a watermark using iTextSharp to PDF documents before passing them to client. On some machines (all using v.11 of PDF viewer), the following error is being displayed.
An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF Document to correct the problem.
The watermarking code is as follows:
protected static byte[] GetStampedDocument(byte[] content, string mark, string heading)
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(content);
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(reader, stream);
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.NumberOfPages; i++)
{
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle pageSize = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i);
PdfContentByte pdfPageContents = pdfStamper.GetOverContent(i);
pdfPageContents.BeginText();
PdfGState gstate = new PdfGState();
gstate.FillOpacity = 0.2f;
gstate.StrokeOpacity = 0.3f;
pdfPageContents.SaveState();
pdfPageContents.SetGState(gstate);
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA_BOLD, Encoding.ASCII.EncodingName, false);
pdfPageContents.SetFontAndSize(baseFont, 46);
pdfPageContents.SetRGBColorFill(32, 32, 32);
pdfPageContents.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER, mark, pageSize.Width / 2, pageSize.Height / 2, 66);
if (heading != null && heading.Length > 0)
{
pdfPageContents.SetFontAndSize(baseFont, 12);
pdfPageContents.SetRGBColorFill(32, 32, 32);
pdfPageContents.ShowTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, heading, 5, pageSize.Height - 15, 0);
}
pdfPageContents.EndText();
pdfPageContents.RestoreState();
}
pdfStamper.FormFlattening = true;
pdfStamper.FreeTextFlattening = true;
pdfStamper.Close();
return stream.ToArray();
}
}
I cannot recreate this on any machine I have tried so there is an environmental element to this as well I expect.
Any ideas?
You save the graphics state inside a text object:
pdfPageContents.BeginText();
[...]
pdfPageContents.SaveState();
[...]
pdfPageContents.EndText();
pdfPageContents.RestoreState();
This is not allowed, cf. Figure 9 — Graphics objects — in ISO 32000-2, special graphics state operators (like saving or restoring the graphics state) may not be used inside a text object.
To prevent this invalid syntax, move pdfPageContents.SaveState() before pdfPageContents.BeginText(). This furthermore makes the nesting of saving/restoring the state and beginning and ending the text object more natural.

PDFBox inserting data into multi-page doc

I'm trying to create a simple pdf multi-page document with fields in it. To do that I have a template pdf which in the code I clone this template as many times as needed in order to create the document itself.
The problem comes with inserting some data in it. The type of data I try to insert to the document is not supposed to change across the pages. Rather than that, it stays static in all pages, Like the "Pages" digit that represents the number of the pages that this document contains.
Now, Inside my template pdf I have some text fields like, for instance, "Shipper1" and "Pages". I want to be able to insert my data into this text fields so that all the pages in the document will have this values in their "Shipper1" and "Pages" fields.
My code currently does that only on the first page. It shows the data perfectly. On the other hand, when I go to another page, the data isn't shown there. It's just displays an empty field.
Here is the code where I initiate the pdf document:
static void initiatePdf() {
// Initiate a new PDF Box object and get the acro form from it
File file = new File(Constants.Paths.EMPTY_DOC)
PDDocument tempDoc
Evaluator evaluator = new Evaluator(metaHolder)
int numPages = evaluator.getNumOfPagesRequired(objects)
FieldRenamer renamer = new FieldRenamer()
PDResources res = new PDResources()
COSDictionary acroFormDict = new COSDictionary()
List<PDField> fields = []
Closure isFieldExist = {List<PDField> elements, String fieldName ->
elements.findAll{it.getFullyQualifiedName() == fieldName}.size() > 0
}
for(int i = 0; i < numPages; i++) {
tempDoc = new PDDocument().load(file)
PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = tempDoc.getDocumentCatalog()
PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.acroForm
PDPage page = (PDPage) docCatalog.getPages().get(0)
renamer.setCurrentForm(acroForm)
if(i == 0) {
res = acroForm.getDefaultResources()
acroFormDict.mergeInto(acroForm.getCOSObject())
renamer.renameFields(1)
} else
renamer.renameFields(i*10+1)
List<PDField> newFields = acroForm.fields.findAll { PDField newField ->
isFieldExist(fields, newField.getFullyQualifiedName()) == false
}
fields.addAll(newFields)
document.addPage(page)
}
PDAcroForm acroForm = new PDAcroForm(document, acroFormDict);
acroForm.setFields(fields)
acroForm.setDefaultResources(res);
document.documentCatalog.setAcroForm(acroForm)
}
A couple of things first:
metaHolder instance holds the information about all
the fields that reside inside the acro form. the info is: Field Name, Field Widget Width, Field Font and Font size
evaluator is just and instance of the Evaluator class. Its purpose is to analyze the dynamic data and decide how many pages will take to contain all that text data.
Here is where I try to populate the fields with text:
static void populateData() {
def properties = ["$Constants.Fields.SHIPPER" : "David"]
FieldPopulater populater = new FieldPopulater(document, metaHolder)
populater.populateStaticFields(properties)
}
FieldPopulater class:
package app.components
import app.StringUtils
import app.components.entities.DGObject
import app.components.entities.FieldMeta
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDField
/**
* Created by David on 18/10/2016.
*/
class FieldPopulater {
PDAcroForm acroForm
FormMetaHolder metaHolder
FieldPopulater(PDDocument document, FormMetaHolder metaHolder) {
this.acroForm = document.getDocumentCatalog().acroForm
this.metaHolder = metaHolder
}
void populateStaticFields(properties) {
List<PDField> fields = []
properties.each {fieldName, data ->
FieldMeta fieldMeta = metaHolder.getMetaData(fieldName)
fields = acroForm.fields.findAll { PDField field ->
String currentName = field.getFullyQualifiedName()
char lastChar = currentName[-1]
if(Character.isDigit(lastChar)) {
currentName = currentName.substring(0,currentName.size()-1)
}
currentName == fieldName
}
if(fields.size() > 1) {
int counter = 1
String tempData = data
String currentFitData
while(tempData.isEmpty() != true) {
int maxWords = Utils.getMaxWords(tempData, fieldMeta)
currentFitData = StringUtils.getTextByWords(tempData, maxWords)
tempData = StringUtils.chopTextByWords(tempData, maxWords)
PDField field = fields.find{it.getFullyQualifiedName()[-1] == "$counter"}
field?.setValue(currentFitData)
counter++
}
} else {
PDField tempField = fields[0]
tempField.setValue(data)
}
}
}
}
The result is, in the first page, the field "Shipper" has a value of "David"
In the second page, the field "Shipper" is empty.
Here is an image. First page:
Second page:
What is the problem here?
UPDATE: I tried to add the widgets of every new acro form to the current page so that every field will a few kids widgets that will represent the field, but it still doesn't work.
// All the widgets that are associated with the fields
List<PDAnnotationWidget> widgets = acroForm.fields.collect {PDField field -> field.getWidgets().get(0)}
page.annotations.addAll(widgets)
UPDATE: I also tried to add the current widget of a field to the parent field's collection of widgets. Here is the code:
List<PDAnnotationWidget> widgets = []
// All the widgets that are associated with the fields
acroForm.fields.each {PDField field ->
PDAnnotationWidget widget = field.widgets.get(0)
// Adding the following widget to the page and to the field's list of annotation widgets
widgets.add(widget)
fields.find {it.getFullyQualifiedName() == field.getFullyQualifiedName()}?.widgets.add(widget)
}
page.annotations.addAll(widgets)
What you want is to have sereval visual representations of the same field. This is done by having several annotation widgets for such a field.
In PDF, when a field has only one annotation widget, they share a common dictionary. When it has several, the annotation widgets are in a child list of the field.
When you want several annotation widgets for one field, you need to create the annotation widgets with new PDAnnotationWidget() instead of calling field.getWidgets().get(0) and using that one. These widgets must be added to a list, and this list must be assigned to the field with setWidgets(). And for each widget you must call setRectangle() and setPage() and setParent().
An example for this is in the new CreateMultiWidgetsForm.java example. The setParent() method is not yet available in 2.0.3 (but will be in 2.0.4). In this answer, it is replaced with a call that does the same thing in a less elegant way.

How to add Code128 Barcode image to existing pdf using pdfbox(1.8.12) with barcode4j library?

I am trying to generate the barcode from barcode4j library(code128bean, other barcode beans) and try to add to the existing pdf. The barcode image is getting created locally using the below code.
//Create the barcode bean
Code128Bean code128Bean = new Code128Bean();
final int dpi = 150;
code128Bean.setModuleWidth(UnitConv.in2mm(1.0f / dpi)); //makes the narrow bar
//width exactly one pixel
//bean.setCodeset(2);
code128Bean.doQuietZone(false);
//Open output file
File outputFile = new File("D:/barcode4jcod128.png"); //I dont want to create it
OutputStream code128Stream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
try {
//Set up the canvas provider for monochrome PNG output
BitmapCanvasProvider canvas1 = new BitmapCanvasProvider(
code128Stream, "image/x-png", dpi, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, false, 0);
//Generate the barcode
code128Bean.generateBarcode(canvas1, "123456");
//Signal end of generation
canvas1.finish();
} finally {
code128Stream.close();
}
My problem is I don't want to create an image and save it locally in filesystem and then add it as image to pdf. I just want to create dynamically i mean just create the barcode image dynamically and add it to the pdf.
How do I set the pagesize (like PDPage.PAGE_SIZE_A4) to the existing PDPages which I retrieved from catalog.getAllPages() method, like (List<PDPage> pages = catalog.getAllPages();)
Can somebody help on this?
Thank you so much for your help Tilman. Here is what i did
public static BufferedImage geBufferedImageForCode128Bean(String barcodeString) {
Code128Bean code128Bean = new Code128Bean();
final int dpi = 150;
code128Bean.setModuleWidth(UnitConv.in2mm(1.0f / dpi)); //makes the narrow bar
code128Bean.doQuietZone(false);
BitmapCanvasProvider canvas1 = new BitmapCanvasProvider(
dpi, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, false, 0
);
//Generate the barcode
code128Bean.generateBarcode(canvas1, barcodeString);
return canvas1.getBufferedImage();
}
// main code
PDDocument finalDoc = new PDDocument();
BufferedImage bufferedImage = geBufferedImageForCode128Bean("12345");
PDXObjectImage pdImage = new PDPixelMap(doc, bufferedImage);
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(
finalDoc, pdPage, true, true, true
);
contentStream.drawXObject(pdImage, 100, 600, 50, 20);
contentStream.close();
finalDoc.addPage(pdPage);
finalDoc.save(new File("D:/Test75.pdf"));
The barcode is getting created the but it is created in vertical manner. i would like to see in horizontal manner. Thanks again for your help.
1) add an image to an existing page while keeping the content:
BitmapCanvasProvider canvas1 = new BitmapCanvasProvider(
dpi, BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY, false, 0
);
code128Bean.generateBarcode(canvas1, "123456");
canvas1.finish();
BufferedImage bim = canvas1.getBufferedImage();
PDXObjectImage img = new PDPixelMap(doc, bim);
PDPageContentStream contents = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true, true);
contents.drawXObject(img, 100, 600, bim.getWidth(), bim.getHeight());
contents.close();
2) set the media box to A4 on an existing page:
page.setMediaBox(PDPage.PAGE_SIZE_A4);

How to show timestamp status in PDF signature appearance using itext

The adobe reader shows pdf signature status, valid and invalid.
I would like the reader to shows the dynamic(not static)timestamp status which is included in the signature.
The itext code I use is as follows.
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(IN_FILE);
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(OUT_FILE);
PdfStamper stp = PdfStamper.createSignature(reader, fout, '\0');
PdfSignatureAppearance sap = stp.getSignatureAppearance();
sap.setCrypto(null, chain, null, PdfSignatureAppearance.SELF_SIGNED);
sap.setVisibleSignature(new Rectangle(100, 100, 300, 200), 1, "Signature");
PdfSignature dic = new PdfSignature(PdfName.ADOBE_PPKLITE, new PdfName("adbe.pkcs7.detached"));
dic.setReason(sap.getReason());
dic.setLocation(sap.getLocation());
dic.setContact(sap.getContact());
dic.setDate(new PdfDate(sap.getSignDate()));
sap.setCryptoDictionary(dic);
int contentEstimated = 15000;
HashMap exc = new HashMap();
exc.put(PdfName.CONTENTS, new Integer(contentEstimated * 2 + 2));
sap.preClose(exc);
PDFTemplate sigLayer = PdfSignatureAppearance.getLayer(n);
is responsible for signature appearance. But I am unable to include the dynamic timestamp status.
The to-be-signed timestamp hash value is computed over the signed pdf, when the document's signature appearance has been created.
Modify the pdf adding the ts information will invalidate the signature...

PDF Watermark for printing only, programmatically

I can watermark any PDF already, and the images inside, everything ok, but now I need the watermark only showing up when the PDF is printed... Is this possible? How?
I need to do this programmatically of course.
For future readers, this is possible to do by wrapping the watermark in a PDF layer (Optional Content Group), then configuring the Usage attribute of this layer as Print-Only. See the PDF Reference Document, Chapter 4-Graphics, part 4.10-Optional Content for more details.
Specifically, using itextsharp, I was able to get it working with the following, specifically - pdf version 1.7, and SetPrint("Watermark",true)
string oldfile = #"c:\temp\oldfile.pdf";
string newFile = #"c:\temp\newfile.pdf";
PdfReader pdfReaderS = new PdfReader(oldfile);
Document document = new Document(pdfReaderS.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
PdfWriter pdfWriterD = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write));
pdfWriterD.SetPdfVersion(PdfWriter.PDF_VERSION_1_7);
document.Open();
PdfContentByte pdfContentByteD = pdfWriterD.DirectContent;
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
int n = pdfReaderS.NumberOfPages;
string text = "UNCONTROLLED";
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle pageSizeS = pdfReaderS.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i);
float pageWidth = pageSizeS.Width / 2;
float pageheight = pageSizeS.Height / 2;
document.SetPageSize(pageSizeS);
document.NewPage();
PdfImportedPage pdfImportedPage = pdfWriterD.GetImportedPage(pdfReaderS, i);
PdfLayer layer1 = new PdfLayer("Watermark", pdfWriterD);
layer1.SetPrint("Watermark", true);
layer1.View = false;
layer1.On = false;
layer1.OnPanel = false;
pdfContentByteD.BeginLayer(layer1);
pdfContentByteD.SetColorFill(BaseColor.RED);
pdfContentByteD.SetFontAndSize(bf, 30);
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned(pdfContentByteD, Element.ALIGN_CENTER, new Phrase(text), 300, 700, 0);
pdfContentByteD.EndLayer();
pdfContentByteD.AddTemplate(pdfImportedPage, 0, 0);//, 0, 1, 0, 0);
}
document.Close();
pdfReaderS.Close();
You should probably make use of the fact that the screen uses RGB and the printer CMYK. You should be able to create two colors in CMYK that map to the same RGB value. This is of course not enough against a determined specialist.
The bOnScreen parameter determines whether the watermark will be displayed when the PDF is viewed on the computer screen, and bOnPrint determines whether it will be displayed when the PDF is printed.
