I'm trying to run your code, but didn´t work. I have tried to update the dependencies too, and not working here.

Did you know why?

Hey, @hermesalvesbr that's totally my bad, I was using the wrong type of date.

You can either update this file in your code or just pull the latest code from this repo.

Let me know if that worked for you.

Perfect, it's solve this problem. Thank you.

Now a error is about the byte place into pdf.

Hmmm, I haven't seen this issue before. I came across this answer after some Googling.

Looks like it's related to node-forge. If you're not comfortable sharing your certificate and pdf you might have to get your hands dirty and try a few of these options in the source code.

Otherwise you can email me those resources and I can try it out myself.

Mar 25 '22 11:03 RichardBray

Thanks, i guess i need to change this line:

const DEFAULT_BYTE_RANGE_PLACEHOLDER = '**********';

I sent by email my code.

Kind regards

Mar 25 '22 12:03 hermesalvesbr

I haven't yet received an email. Could you send it again, please?

Mar 25 '22 14:03 RichardBray

I sent again, from [email protected]

Thanks, I've got it now.

I've had a look at your files and I think it might have something to do with your certificate.

How did you create it? Or was it purchased?

Mar 25 '22 16:03 RichardBray

It's purchased, with this code works:

const signer = require('node-signpdf').default;
const fs = require('fs');
const { plainAddPlaceholder } = require('node-signpdf/dist/helpers');

const filename = '/home/hermes/Projetos/vue/signpdf/pdf/paraAssinar.pdf';
const cert = '/home/hermes/Projetos/vue/signpdf/pdf/softagon.pfx';

var output = plainAddPlaceholder({
    pdfBuffer: fs.readFileSync(filename),
    reason: 'Minha Assinatura',
    signatureLength: 8192
});


const signedPdf = signer.sign(output, fs.readFileSync(cert), { passphrase: '*37us82', asn1StrictParsing: true });
fs.writeFileSync(__dirname + '/last.pdf', signedPdf);
fs.writeFileSync(filename, signedPdf);
console.log(`Successfully signed ${filename}`);

I attached the signed last.pdf last.pdf

Mar 25 '22 16:03 hermesalvesbr

That's odd. I guess I could look into how plainAddPlaceholder works.

I've noticed your signature length is 8192 and my code has it as 3322. Maybe this is a limitation of pdf-lib.js 🤷
