Hello,
are there any Belgians on the list?
On the EIDForum that discusses the use of the Belgian Identity Card
(see http://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~decockd/wiki/bin/view.cgi/Eid/EidForum),
I have seen the following thread:
Is there a free applet/library to create digital signatures on pdf or
office documents?
* I'm looking for a piece of code (an applet would be nice, or .exe,
...) to digitally sign documents (pdf, office-files, ...).
Or can I use (some functions in) the eID middleware for that
purpose (I guess not)?
And ... it should be freely distributable smile
Thanks in advance ! -- AnonYmous - 19 Aug 2005 10:07:54
* (cont'd) ... please mention the relevant ones that are not for
free also. thx. -- AnonYmous - 19 Aug 2005 10:21:41
* Hi, it will not be simple to get a freely distributable piece of
software that does what you want: a digital signature is typically
embedded in a pdf or office file, and this is a non-trivial task... You
could use tools such as Adobe Professional 7.0 (quite expensive) or
other solutions to sign pdf documents, but this code will typically be
not free to redistribute... -- DannyDeCock - 19 Aug 2005 13:19:11

* yes... itext does it in an easy way. ohly a little know how about
itext and java are advisable -- AnonYmous - 19 Dec 2005 11:16:39
* Does anyone care to send me an iText example? -- AnonYmous - 07

* I am Bruno Lowagie and I have a lot of knowhow about the iText or
'lowagie.com' classes, but no knowhow about the eID (I live in Belgium
and I just ordered my eID today). If I study the eID Run-time Users
Guide, I don't see a method that can sign me a hash. Maybe it's there,
but I don't recognize it. Can somebody send me a code sample? Your code
will be made available at http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ and eternal
glory will be your part ;-) -- AnonYmous - 08 Feb 2006 12:05:28
I wonder if there's anyone on the iText list who can help me out.
br,
Bruno
