synchronized void de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.addField ( SignDocField  aField,
int  aFlags 
) throws SignDocException

Add a field.

See the members of SignDocField for details.

This function can add check boxes, radio button groups, text fields, and signature fields to PDF documents.

When adding a radio button group or a check box field, a value must be set, see SignDocField.setValue() and SignDocField.setValueIndex().

The SignDocField.f_NoToggleToOff flag should be set for all radio button groups. Adobe products seem to ignore this flag being not set.

When adding a text field, the justification must be set with SignDocField.setJustification().

Currently, you don't have control over the appearance of the field being inserted except for the text field attributes.

Adding a field to a PDF document that doesn't contain any fields will set the document's default text field attributes to font Helvetica, font size 0, text color black.

Only signature fields can be added to PDF documents having signed signature fields.

TIFF documents support signature fields only and all signature fields must be inserted before the first signature is added to the document (you may want to use invisible fields) unless all existing signature fields have flag f_EnableAddAfterSigning set.

Parameters:
[in,out]aFieldThe new field. The font resource name of the default text field attributes may be modified. The value index and the value may be modified for radio button fields and check box fields.
[in]aFlagsSet of flags (sff_keep_ap, sff_fit_height_only, sff_force_border_width, sff_dont_break_lines, sff_auto_alignment, sff_ltr, sff_rtr, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl) combined with `|' modifying the behavior of this function. Pass 0 for no flags.

Add an empty page to the document.

This function is currently implemented for PDF documents only.

Parameters:
[in]aTargetPageThe 1-based number of the page before which to insert the new page. The page will be appended if this value is 0.
[in]aWidthThe width of the page (in 1/72 inches for PDF documents).
[in]aHeightThe height of the page (in 1/72 inches for PDF documents).
synchronized void de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.addSignature ( SignDocSignatureParameters  aSignatureParameters,
SignDocVerificationParameters  aVerificationParameters 
) throws SignDocException

Sign the document.

This function stores changed properties in the document before signing. If string parameter "OutputPath" is set, the signed document will be stored in a new file specified by that parameter and the original file won't be modified. If "OutputPath" is not set, the document will be written to the file from which it was loaded or to which it was most recently saved.

If a PDF document is backed by memory (most recently saved to memory or loaded from memory) and "OutputPath" is empty, the signed document will not be saved. Use

 doc.copyToStream (stream, 0);

to save the signed document in that case.

If string parameter "OutputPath" is set to the special value "<memory>" for a PDF document, it will be saved to memory and signed in memory. You'll have to save the document as described in the preceding paragraph.

Some document types may allow adding signatures only if all signatures of the documents are valid.

For PDF documents, this function either signs or certifies the document, see integer parameter DocMDP.

If you are using RFC 3161 timestamps and get error rc_unexpected_error with a message like "Contents overflow: xxx vs. yyy", try using a bigger value for integer parameter "TimeStampSize".

This function performs a basic verification of the signature after signing a PDF document unless siff_dont_verify_after_signing is set. This ensures that the private key matches the certificate. If that verification fails, SignDocInvalidSignatureException will be thrown.

Parameters:
[in]aSignatureParametersThe signing parameters. The parameters can be used only once, for a single signature.
[in]aVerificationParametersVerification parameters or null for default parameters. If revocation checking is enabled in aVerificationParameters, the revocation state of the certificates (subject to integer parameter "VerificationModel") in both the signing certificate's certificate chain and (if RFC 3161 time stamps are enabled) the RFC 3161 time stamp's certificate chain is checked. These verification parameters are not used for verifying the certificate chain of HTTPS connections to RFC 3161 time-stamp servers.

Copy the document to a stream for viewing the document "as signed".

This function copies to a stream the document as it was when the specified signature field was signed. If the specified signature field contains the last signature applied to the document, this function is equivalent to copyToStream(). However, for some document formats, this function may require signatures to be valid.

Parameters:
[in]aStreamThe file will be copied to this stream.
[in]aFieldNameThe name of the signature field.
Returns:

Copy the document's current status or backing file or backing blob to a stream.

If ctsf_unsaved is not set in aFlags , this function will copy to a stream the file or blob from which the document was loaded or to which the document was most recently saved. Changes made to the in-memory copy of the document since it was loaded or saved will not be reflected in the copy written to the stream.

If ctsf_unsaved is set in aFlags, unsaved changes made to the in-memory copy of the document will be included (as incremental update for PDF documents) in the stream.

This function does not have side effects on the in-memory copy of the document, that is, unsaved changes remain unsaved (except for being saved to the stream if ctsf_unsaved is set in aFlags).

Parameters:
[in]aStreamThe file will be copied to this stream.

synchronized SignDocProperty [] de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.getProperties ( String  aCollection ) throws SignDocException

Get the names and types of all SignDoc properties of a certain collection of properties of the document.

Use getBooleanProperty(), getIntegerProperty(), or getStringProperty() to get the values of the properties.

There are two collections of SignDoc document properties:

  • "encrypted" Encrypted properties. Names and values are symmetrically encrypted.
  • "public" Public properties. Document viewer applications may be able to display or let the user modify these properties.
  • "pdfa" PDF/A properties (PDF documents only):
    • part (PDF/A version identifier: 1, 2, or 3)
    • amd (optional PDF/A amendment identifier)
    • conformance (PDF/A conformance level: A, B, or U)
    All properties in this collection have string values, the property names are case-sensitive. If the "part" property is present, the document claims to be conforming to PDF/A. Your application may change its behavior when dealing with PDF/A documents. For instance, it might want to avoid transparency.
  • "pdfua" PDF/UA properties (PDF documents only):
    • part (PDF/UA version identifier: 1)
    • amd (optional PDF/UA amendment identifier)
    • corr (optional PDF/UA corrigenda identifier)
    All properties in this collection have string values, the property names are case-sensitive. If the "part" property is present, the document claims to be conforming to PDF/UA. Your application may change its behavior when dealing with PDF/UA documents.

Using the same property name in the "encrypted" and "public" collections is not possible. Attempts to get, set, or remove a property in the wrong collection will fail with error code rc_wrong_collection. To move a property from one collection to another collection, first remove it from the source collection, then add it to the target collection.

The "pdfa" and "pdfua" collections are read-only and a property name existing in those collections does not prevent that property name from appearing in one of the other collections.

The syntax of property names depends on the document type and the collection containing the property.

"public" properties of PDF documents are stored according to XMP in namespace "http://www.softpro.de/pdfa/signdoc/public/", therefore property names must be valid unqualified XML names, see the syntax of "Name" in the XML 1.1 specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml11-20040204/#sec-common-syn (section 2.3 Common Syntactic Constructs).

For "encrypted" properties and any properties in TIFF documents, property names can contain arbitrary Unicode characters except for NUL.

Parameters:
[in]aCollectionThe name of the collection, see above.
Returns:
The properties.
synchronized void de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.getRenderedSize ( SignDocRenderOutput  aOutput,
SignDocRenderParameters  aParams 
) throws SignDocException

Get the size of the rendered page in pixels (without actually rendering it).

) throws SignDocException

Import a page from a blob containing an image.

This function behaves like importPageFromImageBlob2() with an empty string for aDescription, that is, if the document uses Tagged PDF, a dummy alternate description for the image ("image" with language code "en") will provided to avoid breaking standard compliance. It is strongly recommended to use importPageFromImageBlob2() with a meaningful description of the image.

This function is currently implemented for PDF documents only.

Parameters:
[in]aTargetPageThe 1-based number of the page before which to insert the new page. The page will be appended if this value is 0.
[in]aDataThe blob containing the image. Supported formats for inserting into PDF documents are: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP.

) throws SignDocException

Import a page from a blob containing an image (with alternate description).

This function is currently implemented for PDF documents only.

Parameters:
[in]aTargetPageThe 1-based number of the page before which to insert the new page. The page will be appended if this value is 0.
[in]aDataThe blob containing the image. Supported formats for inserting into PDF documents are: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP.
[in]aZoomZoom factor or zero. If this argument is non-zero, aWidth and aHeight must be zero. The size of the page is computed from the image size and resolution, multiplied by aZoom.
[in]aWidthPage width (document coordinates) or zero. If this argument is non-zero, aHeight must also be non-zero and aZoom must be zero. The image will be scaled to this width.
[in]aHeightPage height (document coordinates) or zero. If this argument is non-zero, aWidth must also be non-zero and aZoom must be zero. The image will be scaled to this height.
[in]aFlagsFlags modifying the behavior of this function, See ii_keep_aspect_ratio. ii_keep_aspect_ratio is not needed if aZoom is non-zero.
[in]aDescriptionAlternate description for the image. If this value is null or an empty string, aLang will be ignored. If this value is null or an empty string and the document uses Tagged PDF, "image" with language code "en" will be used to avoid breaking standard compliance. It is strongly recommended to use a meaningful description. Escape sequences must not be used.
[in]aLangLanguage identifier for aDescription. Unless aDescription is an empty string, this must be a string containing an RFC 3066 language tag. Example: "en-US".

Import a page from a file containing an image.

This function behaves like importPageFromImageFile2() with an empty string for aDescription, that is, if the document uses Tagged PDF, a dummy alternate description for the image ("image" with language code "en") will provided to avoid breaking standard compliance. It is strongly recommended to use importPageFromImageFile2() with a meaningful description of the image.

This function is currently implemented for PDF documents only.

Parameters:
[in]aTargetPageThe 1-based number of the page before which to insert the new page. The page will be appended if this value is 0.
[in]aPathThe pathname of the file containing the image. Supported formats for inserting into PDF documents are: JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP.
[in]aZoomZoom factor or zero. If this argument is non-zero, aWidth and aHeight must be zero. The size of the page is computed from the image size and resolution, multiplied by aZoom.
[in]aWidthPage width (document coordinates) or zero. If this argument is non-zero, aHeight must also be non-zero and aZoom must be zero. The image will be scaled to this width.
[in]aHeightPage height (document coordinates) or zero. If this argument is non-zero, aWidth must also be non-zero and aZoom must be zero. The image will be scaled to this height.

) throws SignDocException

Import pages from another document.

This function is currently implemented for PDF documents only. The pages to be imported must not contain any interactive fields having names that are already used for intercative fields in the target document.

Page labels are currently ignored, that is, they will probably be messed up in the target document.

If flag f_prevent_breaking_tagged_pdf is set, this function may fail for some values of aTargetPage as the target structure may not be suitable for insertion of pages between certain pages. Appending pages after the last page should always work.

Parameters:
[in]aTargetPageThe 1-based number of the page before which to insert the copied pages. The pages will be appended if this value is 0.
[in]aSourceThe document from which to copy the pages. aSource can be this.
[in]aSourcePageThe 1-based number of the first page (in the source document) to be copied.
[in]aPageCountThe number of pages to be copied. All pages of aSource starting with aSourcePage will be copied if this value is 0.
[in]aFlagsMust be zero.

synchronized void de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.setCompressionLevel ( int  aLevel ) throws SignDocException

Set the FlateDecode compression level.

Calling this function has an effect for PDF documents only. You might want to use a low compression level on slow machines such as mobile devices. That will speed up operations such as embedding fonts, adding attachments, and adding images.

Parameters:
[in]aLevelThe new compression level for encoding data with the FlateDecode filter. Allowed values are 0 (fastest, do not use FlateDecode), and 0 (fast, least compression) through 9 (slowest, best compression). The default value is 6.

synchronized void de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.setField ( SignDocField  aField,
int  aFlags 
) throws SignDocException

Change a field.

This function changes a field in the document using attributes from a SignDocField object. Everything except for the name and the type of the field can be changed. See the member functions of SignDocField for details.

Always get a SignDocField object for a field by calling getField(), getFields(), or getFields(), then apply your modifications to that object, then call setField().

Applications should not call setField() for fields that are locked, ie, have SignDocField.f_ReadOnly set in the return value of SignDocField.getFlags(). However, setField() does not fail in that case.

The coordinates of the field are not changed unless sff_move is set in aFlags.

Do not try to build a SignDocField object from scratch for changing a field as future versions of the SignDocField class may have additional attributes.

This function is implemented for PDF documents only.

This function always fails for PDF documents that have signed signature fields.

Parameters:
[in,out]aFieldThe field to be changed. The font resource name of the default text field attributes may be modified. The value index and the value may be modified for radio button fields and check box fields.
[in]aFlagsSet of flags (sff_move, sff_keep_ap, sff_update_ap, sff_fit_height_only, sff_force_border_width, sff_dont_break_lines, sff_auto_alignment, sff_ltr, sff_rtr, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl) combined with `|' modifying the behavior of this function. Pass 0 for no flags.

synchronized int de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.updateDSS ( SignDocVerificationParameters  aParameters,
int  aFlags 
) throws SignDocException

Update the DSS for any eligible signatures of the document.

This function is available for PDF documents only.

To extend the validity of the signatures in a PDF document (long term validity LTV), call this function, save the document incrementally, and add a document time stamp.

If the document already has a document time stamp, this function adds information for the latest document time stamp to the DSS. If the document does not have a document time stamp, this function adds information for all eligible signature fields to the DSS.

This function fails if verification fails for any of the signatures.

Parameters:
[in]aParametersVerification parameters or null for default parameters.
[in]aFlagsFlags modifying the behavior of this function, see udf_simulate and udf_vri.
Returns:
If udf_simulate is not set in aFlags, the number of signature fields for which information has been added to the DSS will be returned. If udf_simulate is set in aFlags, the number of eligible signature fields will be returned.

updateDSS2()
synchronized void de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.updateDSS2 ( String  aFieldName,
SignDocVerificationParameters  aParameters,
int  aFlags 
) throws SignDocException

Update the DSS for a signature of the document.

The main purpose of this function is testing SignDoc SDK, please use updateDSS() instead.

This function is available for PDF documents only.

Call this function (possibly a long time) after signing field aFieldName, then save the document incrementally and add a document time stamp. Before applying the first document time stamp, this function should be called for all eligable signature fields. If any document time stamp has already been added, this function should be called for the last document time stamp.

The signature field must have been signed with one of these methods: SignDocSignatureParameters.m_digsig_pkcs7_detached, SignDocSignatureParameters.m_digsig_pkcs7_sha1, SignDocSignatureParameters.m_digsig_cades_detached, or SignDocSignatureParameters.m_digsig_cades_rfc3161.

This function does nothing if the signature field is not signed.

Parameters:
[in]aFieldNameThe name of the signature field.
[in]aParametersVerification parameters or null for default parameters.
[in]aFlagsFlags modifying the behavior of this function, see udf_simulate and udf_vri.

synchronized SignDocVerificationResult de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.verifySignature ( String  aFieldName ) throws SignDocException

Verify a signature of the document.

There is a setFlags() flag modifying the behavior of this function: f_relax_byte_range.

Parameters:
[in]aFieldNameThe name of the signature field.
Returns:
A new SignDocVerificationResult object describing the result of the verification.
See also:
getSignature(), setFlags(), SignDocField.getSignatureType(), SignDocField.isSigned()
synchronized SignDocVerificationResult de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.verifySignature2 ( SignDocSignature  aSignature ) throws SignDocException

Verify a signature of the document.

These are the differences between calling this function and calling verifySignature() with the field name obtained from aSignature:

  • This function fails unless aSignature.getClearedIndex() returns -1.
  • PDF only: This function uses the DSS of the first document time stamp following the signature described by aSignature. If there is no such document time stamp, the latest DSS will be used. This behavior is required for verifying signatures with LTV (long term validity).

There is a setFlags() flag modifying the behavior of this function: f_relax_byte_range.

Parameters:
[in]aSignatureA SignDocSignature object for this document.
Returns:
A new SignDocVerificationResult object describing the result of the verification.

static String de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.withEscapeSequence ( String  aText,
String  aLang 
) [static]

Prepend an escape sequence for specifying the natural language in a text string.

This function throws an SignDocInvalidArgumentException if aLang is invalid.

Parameters:
[in]aTextThe text.
[in]aLangLanguage identifier (an RFC3066 language tag with two-character language code and optional two-character country code). Only the language and the optional country will be used, the dash separating them will be removed. Example: "en-US" will prepend ESC "enUS" ESC.

Member Data Documentation

final int de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.atrf_compat = 0x01 [static]

Flag for addTextRect(): Behave like addTextRect() of SignDoc SDK 4.2.0.8 and earlier.

If this flag is set, any sequence of CR and LF characters in the text starts a new paragraph (ie, text following such a sequence will be placed at the beginning of the next output line). In consequence, empty lines in the input do not produce empty lines in the output. To get an empty line in the output, you have to add a paragraph containing a non-breaking space (U+00A0) only:

 "Line before empty line\n\xa0\nLine after empty line"

Moreover, lines can be broken only at a space character (U+0020).

If this flag is not set, the rules of UAX #14 will be used. In particular, CR, LF, and CR LF start a new paragraph and lines can be broken after punctuation.

Flag for addTextRect(): Choose direction automatically, default to LTR.

The base direction of each paragraph (BiDi paragraph level) will depend on the first strong directional character in the paragraph.

The paragraph level will be 0 (LTR) for paragraphs having no strong directional character.

If none of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl is set, atrf_ltr will be used.

At most one of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl can be set.

This flag will be ignored if atrf_compat is set.

Flag for addTextRect(): Choose direction automatically, default to RTL.

The base direction of each paragraph (BiDi paragraph level) will depend on the first strong directional character in the paragraph.

The paragraph level will be 1 (RTL) for paragraphs having no strong directional character.

If none of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl is set, atrf_ltr will be used.

At most one of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl can be set.

This flag will be ignored if atrf_compat is set.

final int de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.atrf_ltr = 0x1000 [static]

Flag for addTextRect(): Paragraph direction: LTR.

If none of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl is set, atrf_ltr will be used.

At most one of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl can be set.

final int de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.atrf_rtl = 0x2000 [static]

Flag for addTextRect(): Paragraph direction: RTL.

If none of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl is set, atrf_ltr will be used.

At most one of atrf_ltr, atrf_rtl, atrf_default_ltr, and atrf_default_rtl can be set.

This flag will be ignored if atrf_compat is set.

Flag for exportFields() and exportProperties(): Include XML declaration and schema for top-level element.

Flag for setFlags(): Make exportFields(), getField(), getFields(), and getFieldsOfPage() return an empty button value if there are multiple non-Off values for a check box field.

An empty button value will make setField() fail. Set this flag if you want to detect check box fields with ambiguous button values or if you want to keep the behavior of SignDoc SDK 4.0 and earlier.

If this flag is not set, the first non-Off value of a check box field will be used as button value. The ordering used for determining the first non-Off value is unspecified and may change with different versions of SignDoc SDK.

This flag is used for PDF documents only, it is ignored for TIFF documents.

Flag for setFlags(): Fail if a new object cannot be inserted into the logical structure of the target document due to that logical structure being broken.

If this flag is not set and insertion into the logical structure fails due to that logical structure being broken, the logical structure will not be modified.

Flag for setFlags(): Do not attempt to insert new objects into the logical structure in reading order.

If inserting in reading order fails or if this flag is set, new objects will be inserted at the end of the page's logical structure.

Flag for setFlags(): Do not remove escape sequences specifying the natural language from text strings.

In PDF, text strings can contain escape sequences which specify the natural language (and optionally, the country) of the text. By default, those escape sequences are removed by functions like SignDocField.getAlternateName(). If this flag is set, those escape sequences are not removed.

If you serialize and deserialize a SignDocField object and this flag is not set, the escape sequences will get lost.

withoutEscapeSequences(), f_use_escape_sequences

Flag for setFlags(): Disable kerning for standard fonts.

This flag is used for testing.

See also:

Flag for setFlags(): Do not allow operations to break Tagged PDF (and PDF/UA).

If this flag is set, operations that would break Tagged PDF will report an error.

If this flag is not set, all operations may break Tagged PDF without reporting an error. The target document's logical structure may be broken or incomplete (and thus violating PDF/UA) after such an operation.

This flag is ignored for TIFF documents.

See also:
isTaggedPDF(), f_fail_for_broken_target_structure

Flag for setFlags(): Relax checking of ByteRange.

If this flag is set, ByteRange may have any values allowed by ISO 32000-1:2008. If this flag is not set, verifySignature() and verifySignature2() behaves like Adobe Reader: ByteRange must have two ranges, sorted by offset, and covering the complete document. (Covering the complete document is required for PAdES, the other two criterions are not.)

This flag is used for PDF documents only, it is ignored for TIFF documents.

See also:
getFlags(), setFlags(), verifySignature(), f_ambiguous_button_value_empty

Flag for setFlags(): Require alternate field names.

If this flag is set and the document claims PDF/UA conformance, addField() will require an alternate field name to be set and setField() won't allow removal of the alternate field name (by setting it to an empty string). If a PDF/UA document does not specify a natural language, the alternate field name must start with an escape sequence specifying the language (see f_use_escape_sequences).

If this flag is not set and the document claims PDF/UA conformance, addField() will use the fully qualified field name as alternate field name. If the document does not provide a natural language, "en" (or the language set with setDefaultDocumentLanguage()) will be used. setField() behaves likewise if the alternate field name is removed (by setting it to an empty string). If a PDF/UA document does not specify a natural language and the alternate field name does not start with an escape sequence specifying the language, language identifier "en" (or the language set with setDefaultDocumentLanguage()) will be used (see f_use_escape_sequences).

See also:
getDocumentLanguage(), setDefaultDocumentLanguage(), setDocumentLanguage(), withEscapeSequence(), f_use_escape_sequences, SignDocField.setAlternateName()

Flag for setFlags(): Require language identifier for text.

If this flag is set and the document claims PDF/UA conformance and does not provide a natural language, addText2() will fail unless a language identifier is passed in aLang and addText() will always fail.

If this flag is not set and the document claims PDF/UA conformance and does not provide a natural language, addText() and addText2() will use language identifier "en" (or the language set with setDefaultDocumentLanguage()) unless a language identifier is passed in aLang of addText2() or addTextRect2().

Flag for setFlags(): Use only the Document Security Store for building the certificate chain and for checking the revocation state of the certificates, ignore any certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses from the signature proper.

This flag is used for testing of verifySignature() and verifySignature2().

See also:
getFlags(), setFlags(), verifySignature(), f_ambiguous_button_value_empty, f_relax_byte_range

Flag for setFlags(): Use escape sequences to encode the natural language in alternate field names.

If a natural language for an alternate field name is provided by the caller (by using an escape sequence) or if SignDoc SDK provides a default natural language for an alternate name, this flag controls how the natural language will be encoded in the document:

If this flag is set, the natural language will be encoded in the string, enabling different languages for the alternate field names of different fields. However, this is quite useless, as currently existing assistive technologies do not support escape sequences.

If this flag is not set and the document does provide a natural language, any escape sequences will be removed from the alternate field name.

If this flag is not set and the document does not provide a natrual language, the document's natural language will be set to the natural language of the alternate name.

Flags modifying the behavior of flattenAnnotations(): Include hidden and invisible annotations.

Flags modifying the behavior of flattenAnnotations(): Do not modify logical structure.

Set this flag only if you don't care about the logical structure of the document and fear problems due to errors in the logical structure. For instance, you might want to use this flag if flattening annotations just for printing with a PDF component that does not support annotations and then throw away the document with the flattened annotations.

Flag for importProperties(): Modify all properties from XML or none (on error).

Flag for addImageFromBlob(), addImageFromBlob2(), addImageFromFile(), and addImageFromFile2(): Make the brightest color transparent.

This flag may be specified for addImageFromBlob(), addImageFromBlob2(), addImageFromFile(), and addImageFromFile2() only. importPageFromImageBlob(), importPageFromImageBlob2(), importPageFromImageFile(), and importPageFromImageFile2() always make the image opaque.

The rest of this description applies to addImageFromBlob(), addImageFromBlob2(), addImageFromFile(), and addImageFromFile2() only.

If the image has an alpha channel (or if its palette contains a transparent color), this flag will be ignored and the image's transparency will be used.

Transparency is not supported for JPEG images and JPEG-compressed TIFF images.

If this flag is not set, the image will be opaque unless the image has an alpha channel or transparent colors in its palette.

If this flag is set (and the image doesn't have an alpha channel and doesn't have transparent colors in its palette), white will be made transparent for truecolor images and the brightest color in the palette will be made transparent for indexed images (including grayscale images).

See also:
saveToFile(), saveToStream(), sf_auto_incremental, sf_incremental, sf_linearized, sf_pdfa_buttons, sf_remove_unused

Save flag: Fix appearance streams of check boxes and radio buttons for conformance with PDF/A-1 without Technical Corrigendum 2.

The appearance streams of a check box or radio button field added by addField() or modified by setField() or applyFdf() do not conform to ISO 19005-1:2005 before Technical Corrigendum 2 (TC2). The relevant wording was fixed in TC2.

To make the appearance streams of check boxes and radio buttons conform to ISO 19005-1:2005 before TC2, save the document with this flag set. The document will be modified in memory and then saved. The document will not conform to TC2 and later versions of ISO 19005.

This flag is observed even if the document does not claim PDF/A-1 conformance.

Note:
After "fixing" appearance streams, check boxes and radio buttons can no longer be modified or operated as the button values (ie, the set of possible values) is lost.

sff_default_ltr, sff_default_rtl, sff_ltr, sff_rtl

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Choose direction automatically, default to LTR.

The base direction of each paragraph (BiDi paragraph level) will depend on the first strong directional character in the paragraph.

The paragraph level will be 0 (LTR) for paragraphs having no strong directional character.

If none of sff_ltr, sff_rtl, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl is set, sff_ltr will be used.

At most one of sff_ltr, sff_rtl, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl can be set.

Usage of sff_default_ltr is not recommended as the visual representation of the value of the field may not match the value of the field (as interpreted by software which does not know that the paragraph direction is supposed to be default-LTR). Use sff_default_ltr only as last resort if you cannot modify the text received from a default-LTR input field appropriately for paragraph direction LTR used in PDF fields.

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Choose direction automatically, default to RTL.

The base direction of each paragraph (BiDi paragraph level) will depend on the first strong directional character in the paragraph.

The paragraph level will be 1 (RTL) for paragraphs having no strong directional character.

If none of sff_ltr, sff_rtl, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl is set, sff_ltr will be used.

At most one of sff_ltr, sff_rtl, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl can be set.

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Do not break lines in multiline text fields.

You can use this flag to simulate the behavior of SignDoc SDK 4.0 and earlier.

See also:
addField(), applyFdf(), setField(), sff_fit_height_only, sff_force_border_width, sff_move, sff_keep_ap, sff_update_ap

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Compute the default font size such that the field contents fit the height of the field.

If the font size for a text field, list box field, or combo box field is zero (see SignDocTextFieldAttributes.setFontSize()), the default font size will be used. This flag controls how the default font size is computed.

If this flag is set, the font size will be computed such that the field contents fit the height of the field. This is the behavior required by the PDF specification. If the field contents are too long, they will be truncated.

If this flag is not set, the font size will be computed such that the field contents fit both the height and the width of the field. This is the behavior implemented in, for instance, Adobe Acrobat.

This flag is assumed to be not set if line breaking is enabled.

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Fail if no suitable font is found.

setField(), addField(), and applyFdf() won't modify/add the field and will throw SignDocFontNotFoundException if no font covering all required characters is found.

This flag is provided for compatibility with existing code; setField(), addField(), and applyFdf() now always assume this flag is set.

See also:
addField(), applyFdf(), setField(), sff_dont_break_lines, sff_fit_height_only, sff_force_border_width, sff_move, sff_keep_ap, sff_update_ap

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Use the border width specified by the field even if that will obliterate the field contents.

If this flag is set, the behavior matches that of Adobe Acrobat. If this flag is not set, the border width will be reduced to 1/16 of the field height or field width (whichever is smaller) if the border width specified by the field wouldn't leave enough space for the field contents.

final int de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.sff_keep_ap = 0x10 [static]

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Keep appearance streams.

If this flag is set, setField() and applyFdf() won't touch the existing (or non-existing) appearance streams, addField() won't add any appearance streams.

Recomputing the appearance can have unexpected results (for instance, Adobe Acrobat and SignDoc SDK use different designs for check marks), therefore you might want to set this flag if you make changes that shall not affect the appearance such as setting the SignDocField.f_ReadOnly flag.

At most one of sff_keep_ap and sff_update_ap can be set.

final int de.softpro.doc.SignDocDocument.sff_move = 0x08 [static]

Flag for setField(): Move or resize field.

setField() does not update the coordinates of the field unless this flag is set as moving a field may require recomputing the appearance which can have unexpected results (for instance, Adobe Acrobat and SignDoc SDK use different designs for check marks). If this flag is not set, setField() ignores the coordinates set with SignDocField.setLeft(), SignDocField.setBottom(), SignDocField.setRight(), and SignDocField.setTop().

addField() ignores this flag, it always uses the coordinates. applyFdf() ignores this flag, it never moves or resizes fields.

In documents using Tagged PDF, widgets can be moved only within the page, they cannot be moved to a different page.

Flag for setField(), addField(), and applyFdf(): Paragraph direction: RTL.

If none of sff_ltr, sff_rtl, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl is set, sff_ltr will be used.

At most one of sff_ltr, sff_rtl, sff_default_ltr, and sff_default_rtl can be set.

Usage of sff_rtl is not recommended as the visual representation of the value of the field may not match the value of the field (as interpreted by software which does not know that the paragraph direction is supposed to be RTL). Use sff_rtl only as last resort if you cannot modify the text received from an RTL input field appropriately for paragraph direction LTR used in PDF fields.

See also:
sff_auto_alignment

Flag for setField() and applyFdf(): Update appearance streams.

If this flag is set, setField() and applyFdf() will always recompute the appearance streams of the field. (addField() always computes the appearance stream unless sff_keep_ap is set).

You might want to use this flag after changing the document's default text field attributes.

At most one of sff_keep_ap and sff_update_ap can be set.

If neither sff_keep_ap and sff_update_ap is set, setField() tries to update the appearance streams only if necessary; the exact behavior depends on the version of SignDoc SDK.

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Allow elliptic curves for signing which are not supported by Adobe products for Windows.

As of August 2016, Adobe Acrobat XI and 2015 for Windows support these curves: secp192r1 (prime192v1), secp256r1 (prime256v1), secp224r1, secp384r1, and secp521r1.

Setting this flag enables additional curves: prime192v2, prime192v3, prime239v1, prime239v2, prime239v3, secp112r1, secp112r2, secp160r1, secp160k1, secp256k1, secp128r1, secp128r2, secp160r2, secp192k1, secp224k1, brainpoolp160r1, brainpoolp192r1, brainpoolp224r1, brainpoolp256r1, brainpoolp320r1, brainpoolp384r1, and brainpoolp512r1. However, most of these are not supported (for signing and verifying) by SignDoc SDK for iOS, OS X, and Windows Store apps due to limitations of those operating systems.

This flag is ignored (and assumed to be set) for TIFF documents. This flag is ignored if SignDocSignatureParameters.setPKCS7() is used.

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Allow operations to break signatures which grant permissions.

This flag is available for PDF documents only.

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Allow signing with a certificate that is not yet valid or no longer valid or which is not qualified for digital signatures.

See also:
siff_allow_breaking_signatures, siff_allow_breaking_permissions

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Allow non-standard usage of external (non-embedded) TrueType and CFF fonts.

If this flag is not set, TrueType and CFF fonts must be embedded; when trying to use a TrueType or CFF font that is not embededded, SignDocFontNotFoundException will be thrown.

If this flag is set, external TrueType and CFF fonts are allowed. However, the document will violate Table 117, section 9.7.4.2 and section 9.7.5.2 of ISO 32000-1:2008.

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Assume that appearance dictionaries and appearance streams are not shared.

If this flag is set and that assumption doesn't hold, changing one field may change the appearances of other fields.

At most one of siff_assume_ap_not_shared and siff_assume_ap_shared can be set. If neither flag is set, setField() and addSignature() look for shared objects. This can be expensive in terms of time and memory.

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Always assume that appearance dictionaries and appearance streams are shared.

Setting this flag partially simulates the behavior of SignDoc SDK 3.x and older and causes a minor violation of section 12.7.3.3 of ISO 32000-1:2008 by setField().

At most one of siff_assume_ap_not_shared and siff_assume_ap_shared can be set. If neither flag is set, setField() and addSignature() look for shared objects. This can be expensive in terms of time and memory.

Flag for setShootInFoot(): Disable verification of signature after signing by addSignature().

You might want to set this flag if you always perform a complete verification with verifySignature() after calling addSignature().
