pdf-simple-sign

pdf-simple-sign is a simple open source PDF signer intended for documents generated by Cairo. As such, it currently comes with some restrictions:

  • the document may not have any forms or signatures already, as they will be overwitten

  • the document may not employ cross-reference streams, or must constitute a hybrid-reference file at least

  • the document may not be newer than PDF 1.6 already, or it will get downgraded to that version

  • the signature may take at most 4 kilobytes as a compile-time limit, which should be enough space even for one intermediate certificate

The signature is attached to the first page and has no appearance.

I dont aim to extend the functionality any further. The project is fairly self-contained and it should be easy to grasp and change to suit to your needs.
