i agree. one option is to download the pdf and sign it using some tools. The other option is to sign the pdf using an applet reading the client keystore. The reason i say client is in an e-biz transaction b/w a buyer and a supplier the document is always signed using the key of the buyer and sent to supplier. I guess the blank signature field should suffice so that the user can download and sign the file. thanks again for the signature support. i guess we can find more usecases for this as we start implementing .
