使用Java添加和验证PDF中的数字签名

Introduction

Digital signature is an effective and commonly used way to protect PDF files from changing by others without permission. This article is going to illustrate how to add digital signature into a PDF file and verify the digital signature using a free Java PDF API - Free Spire.PdF for Java.

Prerequisites

对于maven项目，通过在pom.xml中添加以下代码，我们可以轻松地将依赖关系添加到Java API的Free Spire.PDF中：

<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>com.e-iceblue</id>
            <name>e-iceblue</name>
            <url>http://repo.e-iceblue.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
        </repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>e-iceblue</groupId>
        <artifactId>spire.pdf.free</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.4</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
