(JavaScript) Sign a PDF using IDPrime MD T=1 SmartCard

See more PDF Signatures Examples

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var pdf = new CkPdf();

// Load a PDF to be signed.
// The "hello.pdf" is available at https://chilkatsoft.com/hello.pdf
success = pdf.LoadFile("qa_data/pdf/hello.pdf");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(pdf.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Options for signing are specified in JSON.
var json = new CkJsonObject();

// In most cases, the signingCertificateV2 and signingTime attributes are required.
json.UpdateInt("signingCertificateV2",1);
json.UpdateInt("signingTime",1);

// Put the signature on page 1, top left
json.UpdateInt("page",1);
json.UpdateString("appearance.y","top");
json.UpdateString("appearance.x","left");

// Use a font scale of 10.0
json.UpdateString("appearance.fontScale","10.0");

// In this example, the appearance of the digital signature will contain three lines:
// 1) The signing certificate's common name
// 2) The current date/time
// 3) Some arbitrary text.
// The keyword "cert_cn" is replaced with the Certificate's Subject Common Name.
// The keyword "current_dt" is replaced with the current date/time.
// Any number of appearance text lines can be added.
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[0]","Digitally signed by: cert_cn");
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[1]","current_dt");
json.UpdateString("appearance.text[2]","The crazy brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.");

// Provide the smart card PIN's for both the "user" and the signing PIN, which is role "3".
// These PINs may be the same.

// If the PIN is not explicitly provided here, the Windows OS should
// display a dialog for the PIN.
cert.SmartCardPin = "{ \"user\":\"0000\", \"3\":\"12345678\" }";

// Use a certificate on an IDPrime MD T=1 smart card.
