Command line tool for digital signature of PDF files, useful for example in Batch processes, from non Java programming languages like Php, Shell scripts, etc...
BatchPDFSign is a command line to sign PDF file with a PKCS12 certificate.
To use it you need:
- a PKCS12 certificate. It should be a .pfx file.
- a password for the .pfx
- and a PDF file to sign.
You can create your own self signed certificate with this following 4 commands in Ubuntu.
openssl genrsa -aes128 -out myself.key 2048
openssl req -new -days 365 -key myself.key -out myself.csr
openssl x509 -in myself.csr -out myself.crt -req -signkey myself.key -days 365
openssl pkcs12 -export -out myself.pfx -inkey myself.key -in myself.crtrequired options: i, k, p
usage: BatchPDFSign
-i,--input input file path
-k,--key key file path
-o,--output output file
-p,--password keyfile password
This parameter is the certificate you want to sign the pdf with. It can be generated with the code documented in the chapter self signed certificate creation.
This parameter is the password for the certificate. The password is set during the creation of the certificate file.
The file you want to sign.
If this parameter is set, a new file with this name will be created and signed. The original file will remain untouched.
You'll need:
- Maven
- Java 8 JDK
That's all folks.
