Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Helper that provides placeholder using PDF-LIB

for @signpdf

npm version

Works with PDF-LIB and given a PDFDocument that is in the works, adds an e-signature placeholder. When the PDF is ready you can convert it to Buffer and pass it to @signpdf/signpdf to complete the process.

Usage

You will need $ npm i -S @signpdf/placeholder-pdf-lib pdf-lib @signpdf/signpdf node-forge and a look at the pdf-lib.js example.

Notes

Signature length

Signing in detached mode makes the signature length independent of the PDF's content length, but it may still vary between different signing certificates. So every time you sign using the same P12 you will get the same length of the output signature, no matter the length of the signed content. It is safe to find out the actual signature length your certificate produces and use it to properly configure the placeholder length.

PAdES compliant signatures

To produce PAdES compliant signatures, the ETSI Signature Dictionary SubFilter value must be ETSI.CAdES.detached instead of the standard Adobe value.

This can be declared using the subFilter option argument.

import { pdflibAddPlaceholder } from '@signpdf/placeholder-pdf-lib';
import { SUBFILTER_ETSI_CADES_DETACHED } from '@signpdf/utils';

pdflibAddPlaceholder({
  pdfDoc: pdfToSign,
  ...,
  subFilter: SUBFILTER_ETSI_CADES_DETACHED,
});
