You can retrieve the names of all signature fields that
are located in a PDF document that you want to sign or certify.
If you are unsure of the signature field names that are located
in a PDF document or you want to verify the names, you can programmatically
retrieve them. The Signature service returns the fully qualified
name of the signature field, such as form1[0].grantApplication[0].page1[0].SignatureField1[0].
Summary of stepsTo retrieve signature field names,
perform the following tasks:
Include project files.
Create a Signature client.
Get the PDF document that contains signature fields.
Retrieve the signature field names.
Include project filesInclude necessary files into your development
project. If you are creating a client application using Java, include
the necessary JAR files. If you are using web services, ensure that
you include the proxy files.
The following JAR files must
be added to your project’s classpath:
adobe-livecycle-client.jar
adobe-usermanager-client.jar
adobe-signatures-client.jar
adobe-utilities.jar (required if LiveCycle is deployed
on JBoss)
jbossall-client.jar (required if LiveCycle is deployed
on JBoss)
For information about the location of
these JAR files, see Including LiveCycle Java library files.
Create a Signature clientBefore you can programmatically perform
a Signature service operation, you must create a Signature service
client.
Get the PDF document that contains signature fieldsRetrieve
a PDF document that contains signature fields.
Retrieve the signature field namesYou can retrieve signature field
names after you retrieve a PDF document that contains one or more
signature fields.
Retrieve signature field names using the Java APIRetrieve signature field names by using the Signature API (Java):
Include project files
Include client JAR files,
such as the adobe-signatures-client.jar, in your Java project’s
classpath.
Create a Signature client
Get the PDF document that contains signature fields
Create a java.io.FileInputStream object
that represents the PDF document that contains signature fields
by using its constructor and passing a string value that specifies
the location of the PDF document.
Create a com.adobe.idp.Document object by
using its constructor and passing the java.io.FileInputStream object.
Retrieve the signature field names
Retrieve
the signature field names by invoking the SignatureServiceClient object’s getSignatureFieldList method
and passing the com.adobe.idp.Document object that contains
the PDF document that contains signature fields. This method returns
a java.util.List object, in which each element
contains a PDFSignatureField object. Using this
object, you can obtain additional information about a signature field,
such as whether it is visible.
Iterate through the java.util.List object
to determine if there are signature field names. For each signature field
in the PDF document, you can obtain a separate PDFSignatureField object.
To obtain the name of the signature field, invoke the PDFSignatureField object’s getName method.
This method returns a string value that specifies the signature
field name.
Retrieve signature field using the web service APIRetrieve signature field names using the Signature API
(web service):
Include project files
Create a Microsoft .NET
project that uses MTOM. Ensure that you use the following WSDL definition: http://localhost:8080/soap/services/SignatureService?WSDL&lc_version=9.0.1.
Hinweis: Replace localhost with the IP
address of the server hosting LiveCycle.
Create a Signature client
Create a SignatureServiceClient object
by using its default constructor.
Create a SignatureServiceClient.Endpoint.Address object
by using the System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress constructor.
Pass a string value that specifies the WSDL to the LiveCycle service (for example, http://localhost:8080/soap/services/SignatureService?WSDL).
You do not need to use the lc_version attribute.
This attribute is used when you create a service reference.)
Create a System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object
by getting the value of the SignatureServiceClient.Endpoint.Binding field.
Cast the return value to BasicHttpBinding.
Set the System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding object’s MessageEncoding field
to WSMessageEncoding.Mtom. This value ensures that
MTOM is used.
Enable basic HTTP authentication by performing the following tasks:
Assign the LiveCycle user name to the field SignatureServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName.
Assign the corresponding password value to the field SignatureServiceClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password.
Assign the constant value HttpClientCredentialType.Basic to
the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Transport.ClientCredentialType.
Assign the constant value BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly to
the field BasicHttpBindingSecurity.Security.Mode.
Get the PDF document that contains signature fields
Create a BLOB object by using its constructor.
The BLOB object is used to store the PDF document
that contains signature fields.
Create a System.IO.FileStream object by
invoking its constructor and passing a string value that represents the
file location of the PDF document and the mode in which to open
the file.
Create a byte array that stores the content of the System.IO.FileStream object.
You can determine the size of the byte array by getting the System.IO.FileStream object’s Length property.
Populate the byte array with stream data by invoking the System.IO.FileStream object’s Read method
and passing the byte array, the starting position, and the stream
length to read.
Populate the BLOB object by assigning its MTOM field
the byte array contents.
Retrieve the signature field names
Retrieve
the signature field names by invoking SignatureServiceClient object’s getSignatureFieldList method
and passing the BLOB object that contains the PDF
document that contains signature fields. This method returns a MyArrayOfPDFSignatureField collection object
where each element contains a PDFSignatureField object.
Iterate through the MyArrayOfPDFSignatureField object
to determine whether there are signature field names. For each signature
field in the PDF document, you can obtain a PDFSignatureField object.
To obtain the name of the signature field, invoke the PDFSignatureField object’s getName method.
This method returns a string value that specifies the signature
field name.
