Update Method

Updates a signature.

Syntax

pdfsigner.update([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

PDF signature may be updated from time to time by embedding newer/missing revocation information. The update approach is typically used to extend validity of an LTV signature.

Updating is typically accompanied with a document timestamping operation. Set TimestampServer to have the class obtain and embed a document timestamp for you.

Before calling this method, provide the signed document via InputFile (or InputStream) property. The updated document will be saved to OutputFile (or OutputStream).
