Problem description
We have a specific business / technical case - we need to electronically sign PDFs, and to do that we're partnering with a company that handles electronic signature over the hash of a PDF.
We more or less know how to get the hash from the PDF and merge it back after signing by an external service via Rest API - but something along this process causes the PDF to show "Document has been altered or corrupted since it was signed".
Resulting PDF with broken signature
How we're doing it
We are using library Apache PDFBox version 3.0.0 (and we tried with different versions as well) and we're basing our solution on the official Apache Examples:
We've read many posts on stackoverlow that describe problems similar to ours, for example:
And we settled on the solution described here: Java PdfBox - PDF Sign Problem -External Signature -Invalid signature There are errors in formatting or in the information contained in this signature
Our main class - CreateSignature

Please help us
As far as we understand other posts on this site revolving around similar problems, everything should work, but it doesn't. Most probably we're missing some crucial step.
We’re looking forward to any response, every bit of information could help us.
Something that I don't understand is why the digest (hash) of the PDF is so small: LXl/LHCaxrf7lYlN8d8m7gDNp9DRqY+azvxCS/mB3uY=
Does it look like correct size ?
