## 9.10. Extract Signature Information to XML

Signatures contain a huge amount of data. Some of them reachable by PDFUnit tests. Section 3.28: “Signed PDF” describes tests with signatures.

The following script will start the extraction:

### Program Start

    ::
    :: Extract infos about signatures of a PDF document as XML:
    ::

    @echo off
    setlocal
    set CLASSPATH=./lib/aspectj-1.8.7/*;%CLASSPATH%
    set CLASSPATH=./lib/bouncycastle-jdk15on-153/*;%CLASSPATH%
    set CLASSPATH=./lib/commons-logging-1.2/*;%CLASSPATH%
    set CLASSPATH=./lib/pdfbox-2.0.0/*;%CLASSPATH%
    set CLASSPATH=./lib/pdfunit-2016.05/*;%CLASSPATH%

    set TOOL=com.pdfunit.tools.ExtractSignatureInfo
    set OUT_DIR=./tmp
    set IN_FILE=signed/helloWorld_signed.pdf
    set PASSWD=

    java  %TOOL%  %IN_FILE%  %OUT_DIR%  %PASSWD%
    endlocal

### Input

Adobe Reader® shows the signature data for `helloWorld_signed.pdf`:

### Output

Here is the output file `_signatureinfo_helloWorld_signed.out.xml`:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <signatures>
      <signature fieldname="sign_rbl"
                 signatory="Raymond Berthou"
                 signingdate="2007-10-14T09:09:12"
                 reason="Test SignPDF berthou.mc"
                 signed="true"
                 covers.whole.document="true"
      />
    </signatures>

PFUnit will provide more features to test signatures in future releases. This may lead to changes in the XML structure. In case of a problem, please look to an actual user manual.
