I'm trying to digitally sign PDFs server-side. So far I found that I can do this using MyPDFSigner, but it's far from my needs. Also I don't believe that this is the only option here.

How to sign pdfs in linux? Does Adobe provide any tool for server-side-signinig PDF documents (it does, see edit)?

It would be nice if it has python api, but command line tool will do too.

EDIT:
I found that its possible using Adobe LiveCycle Digital Signatures ES2 which is java appliaction, but it comes with Adobe LiveCycle which is quite expensive.

There's a portable java app that works from the CLI here. I haven't tried it, reversing Java is simple enough. If you really needed a python version it should be possible to clone however it does it.

Credit to @seler on looking up the project page...It is open source. Here's the link

Nice. It shouldn't be difficult to rewrite it to python (if anyone needs it). And here is project page – seler Sep 19 '11 at 14:44
Bonus on actually looking for the project page. Source available. I just assume closed source a lot of the time ;) – aking1012 Sep 19 '11 at 14:47
FYI: we are now using PortableSigner in production environment. :) – seler May 11 at 7:32
