pyHanko: sign and stamp PDF files (by MatthiasValvekens)

itext-java

iText for Java represents the next level of SDKs for developers that want to take advantage of the benefits PDF can bring. Equipped with a better document engine, high and low-level programming capabilities and the ability to create, edit and enhance PDF documents, iText can be a boon to nearly every workflow. (by itext)

  • Signing PDFs
    1 project | /r/pdf | 7 Dec 2023
    If you mean signing as in "adding a digital, cryptographic signature", you could use pyhanko () which provides everything state-of-the-art to do just that.
  • Anything self hosted like paperless.io?

(or nextcloud)
  • Digitally Sign PDFs?
    4 projects | /r/archlinux | 6 Mar 2022
    I don't think Okular supports PKCS#11 out of the box, but if you're OK with CLI tooling, this might suit your needs: https://github.com/MatthiasValvekens/pyHanko (full disclosure: I wrote that tool, so assume I'm biased).
  • How does document signing work in practice?
    1 project | /r/crypto | 27 Jun 2021
    Shameless plug: I'm the author of this tool: https://github.com/MatthiasValvekens/pyHanko/.
  • Introducing Certomancer: the Python X.509 testing framework
    2 projects | /r/Python | 12 Apr 2021
    Certomancer started out as a weekend-long hacking session because I wanted to put the test suite for pyHanko on more solid foundations. I more or less knew where I wanted to go: I started by crafting a configuration file describing a somewhat involved testing configuration, and then implemented features incrementally until the tool was capable of handling the sample config I initially put together. This is the result.
  • Password protect PDF's
    1 project | /r/pdf | 26 Mar 2021
    If you aren't afraid of some command-line tooling, you can use pyHanko: https://github.com/MatthiasValvekens/pyHanko/. It's mainly a signing tool, but the library behind it supports literally every encryption scheme in the PDF standard. The CLI is a bit more restricted, but it'll probably still do the job in this particular case.
