iText PDF signature

Hello, I am working with iText that comes with CF8 and I don?t see these methods in com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfSignatureAppearance setRenderMode setSignatureGraphic I want to create a signature in a PDF that has an image like this example code is doing: http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=example&id=221 Anyone figured out how to get an image and description into a PDF signature? If I use the method setImage that is in the CF8 class the image is laid on top of the description and you cannot read it. Thanks, Cha

We're using iText-2.0.7.jar + javaLoader + CF 7 Std with success. Please take a look this code to insert an image and a description in your PDF signed: <cffunction name="signPDF"> <cfargument name="pathPDF" required="yes"> <cfargument name="pathPDFSigned" required="yes"> <cfargument name="pathArqPFX" required="yes"> <cfset var local = StructNew()> <cfset local.pathPDF = arguments.pathPDF> <cfset local.pathPDFSigned = arguments.pathPDFSigned> <cfset local.pathArqPFX = arguments.pathArqPFX> <cfif NOT CompareNoCase(local.pathPDF,local.pathPDFSigned)>   <cfreturn false> </cfif> <cfscript>   setReason='ACME Corporation';   setPassword='yourPFXPassword';   setLocation='Your City-State';   fullPathToPFXFile = local.pathArqPFX;   fullPathToOriginalFile = local.pathPDF;   fullPathToSignedFile = local.pathPDFSigned;   string = createObject("java","java.lang.String");   passwordSign = string.init(setPassword);   keyStore = createObject("java","java.security.KeyStore").getInstance("pkcs12");   privateKey = createObject("java","java.security.PrivateKey");   inputStream = createObject("java","java.io.FileInputStream").init(fullPathToPFXFile);   keyStore.load(inputStream, passwordSign.toCharArray());   keyStoreAlias = keyStore.aliases().nextElement();   privateKey = keyStore.getKey(keyStoreAlias, passwordSign.toCharArray());   chainArray = keyStore.getCertificateChain(keyStoreAlias);   pdfReader = server[application.javaLoaderInit].create("com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(fullPathToOriginalFile);   outStream = createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init(fullPathToSignedFile);   pdfStamper = server[application.javaLoaderInit].create("com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper");   pdfVersion = string.init(URLDecode('%00')).charAt(0);   stamper = pdfStamper.createSignature(pdfReader, outStream, pdfVersion);   signatureAppearance = stamper.getSignatureAppearance();   PdfSignatureAppearance = server[application.javaLoaderInit].create("com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfSignatureAppearance");   signatureAppearance.setCrypto( privateKey, chainArray, javacast("null", 0),PdfSignatureAppearance.WINCER_SIGNED);   signatureAppearance.setReason(setReason);   signatureAppearance.setLocation(setLocation);   rectangle = server[application.javaLoaderInit].create("com.lowagie.text.Rectangle").init(      javacast("float", 100),      javacast("float", 100),      javacast("float", 200),      javacast("float", 200) );   signatureAppearance.setVisibleSignature( rectangle, javacast("int", 1), javacast("null", "") );    signatureAppearance.setCertificationLevel(signatureAppearance.CERTIFIED_NO_CHANGES_ALLOWED);   stamper.close();   inputStream.close();   pdfReader.close();   outStream.close();   return true; </cfscript> </cffunction> Cheers Marco Antonio On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 7:12 PM, Chad Gray <cgray@careyweb.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Thanks for the suggestions Paul. I don?t see any setRender or setSignatureGraphic method.  Are you on CF9?  Maybe that is the difference. All I have is setImage and setImageScale.  These lay an image behind the text in the signature. I did find that I can do setLayer2Text to blank and it will clear the type on top of the image.  So maybe that is the route I will go.  I really don?t feel like monkey'ing around with replacing iText in CF8.
