(SQL Server) PDF Sign Unsigned Signature Field
Demonstrates how to sign a PDF's unsigned signature field.
Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.85 or greater.
-- Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.

CREATE PROCEDURE ChilkatSample

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
DECLARE @pdf int

-- A PDF with an unsigned signature field appears in Adobe Acrobat as shown below.
-- (When the mouse pointer is hovered over the field, a tooltip will likely show a message
-- such as "Unsigned signature field (Click to sign)".
-- This example code will automatically find the unsigned signature field,
-- and signs using your certificate. It automatically sizes the text to the space alotted
-- for the signature.
-- Options for signing are specified in JSON.
DECLARE @json int
-- Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.JsonObject" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0

-- We don't specify the page or a specific location because Chilkat will automatically
-- find the unsigned signature field and use its location and size and will scale the

-- 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.
