|
|
|
*pdf-simple-sign* is a simple PDF signer intended for documents produced by
|
2020-09-05 20:03:10 +02:00
|
|
|
the Cairo library, GNU troff, ImageMagick, or similar. As such, it currently
|
|
|
|
comes with some restrictions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the document may not have any forms or signatures already, as they would be
|
|
|
|
overwritten,
|
|
|
|
* the document may not employ cross-reference streams, or must constitute
|
|
|
|
a hybrid-reference file at least.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The key and certificate pair is accepted in the PKCS#12 format. The _PASSWORD_
|
|
|
|
must be supplied on the command line, and may be empty if it is not needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The signature is attached to the first page and has no appearance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If signature data don't fit within the default reservation of 4 kibibytes,
|
|
|
|
you might need to adjust it using the *-r* option, or throw out any unnecessary
|
|
|
|
intermediate certificates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
*-r* _RESERVATION_, *--reservation*=_RESERVATION_::
|
|
|
|
Set aside _RESERVATION_ amount of bytes for the resulting signature.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to try a few values in a loop. The program itself has no
|
|
|
|
conceptions about the data, so it can't make accurate predictions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*-h*, *--help*::
|
|
|
|
Display a help message and exit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*-V*, *--version*::
|
|
|
|
Output version information and exit.
