Signs the document using the detached mode, CMS or CAdES equivalent.

Parameters:

sap - the PdfSignatureAppearance

externalSignature - the interface providing the actual signing

chain - the certificate chain

crlList - the CRL list

ocspClient - the OCSP client

tsaClient - the Timestamp client

externalDigest - an implementation that provides the digest

estimatedSize - the reserved size for the signature. It will be estimated if 0

sigtype - Either Signature.CMS or Signature.CADES

Throws:

processCrl

public static Collection processCrl(Certificate cert,

public static void signExternalContainer(PdfSignatureAppearance sap,
                                         ExternalSignatureContainer externalSignatureContainer,
                                         int estimatedSize)
