This a command line to sign PDF file with a PKCS12 certificate.

You need a password for the .pfx
A PDF file to sign.

You can create your own self signed certificate with this following 4 commands in ubuntu. Release includes this certificate with password <12345>.

openssl genrsa -aes128 -out myself.key 2048
openssl req -new -days 365 -key myself.key -out myself.csr
openssl x509 -in myself.csr -out myself.crt -req -signkey myself.key -days 365
openssl pkcs12 -export -out myself.pfx -inkey myself.key -in myself.crt

Then you can sign a PDF file with following command line.

java -jar BatchPDFSign.jar <certificate.pfx> "password" "filetosign.pdf"

For the example included in this release.

java -jar BatchPDFSign.jar myself.pfx "12345" "test.pdf"
