PdfBox showing certified by instead of signed by in digital signature

I have put digital signature via Pdf Box using this example

I digitally sign a pdf twice.

  • First time it showing : Certified by My SSL Certificate
  • Second time it showing : Re.2. Signed by My SSL Certificate

enter image description here

It should show first time Re.1. Signed By My SSL Certificate

any update ?

Solution

  • Remove this segment from your code:

        // Optional: certify 
    if (accessPermissions == 0)
    {
        SigUtils.setMDPPermission(document, signature, 2);
    }

    That's the part that makes it a certification.
