Digital Signature?

[corymickelson]

Does hummus support the ability to digitally sign a pdf? I searched other issues, as well as the documentation for digital signatures, and the only reference I found was related to pdf form field parsing which seemed to focus more on text, and button type fields. Thank you.

No and yes. No, as theres no high level function for it. Yes, cause hummus provides low level functions to create different eleements in pdf. Some pdf know how is required, and maybe some tweaking lf the library

I know it's kind of shitty etiquette to answer a question with a link to another library. I've tried to use hummus for my own needs but came up a bit wanting for the lack of documentation (at the time). In my own quest to learn how to sign a document I eventually started this. Yes it is another pdf library for nodejs, and it is still in it's earlier day's of development, but I have provided some examples on how to sign a document with it. From what i've seen most pdf libraries handle signing in a similar fashion, you might be able to take the process from that link and re-apply it to the hummus api. Another helpful library you maybe able to follow as an example of the process of generating and applying a digital signature is this. Hope that helps.

it's cool. you got the problem solved and point others to a solution. i wish you all the best with your new library, may it serve a good replacement for hummus in general.
