How to close jsignpdf process after finish in batch mode?

[George]

After runing in cmd: java -jar jsignpdf.jar ...(options) , all works fine, but jsign doesn't return the control to cmd. Ctrl+C doesnt work, so the only way is to kill the process. I want to automate signing pdf by running a batch. Would by nice to know if succesful signed by the exitcode. Is there a workaround? Thanks.

Hi George,
the batch mode should really be the "batch mode" and complete without Ctrl+C.
Could you provide more details about your environment?
- OS version
- Java version
- JSignPdf version + parameters given to JSignPdf

The exit codes are implemented - check documentation - chapter 9.1
Program exit codes.

In cmd.exe prompt:

And the control doesn't return to cmd.exe.

Thanks.

Thanks for details, but I'm sorry, I didn't find any problem on JSignPdf side. 

I've tested it now on Windows 2008 server and the program finished without any problem:

Is your certificate directly in the windows certificate store or is it retrieved from a smart-card?

Could you try to use the version from installer?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsignpdf/files/stable/JSignPdf%201.5.0/JSignPdf_setup_1.5.0_wjre.exe/download

and then call JSignPdfC.exe (instead of "java -jar JSignPdf.jar").

Regards,

Yes, the certificate is obtained from a smart-card. I'll try with jsignpdfc.exe. It accepts the same command line parameters ?
The same behaviour is obtained with: java -jar jsign.pdf -lkt . I tryed with the same result on a windows 8 64 bit .
Thanks for you support.

[Josef Cacek]

JSignPdfC.exe is only a simple wrapper which uses a bundled JRE, so it gets the same program arguments.

Preferred way to use certificates on a smart-card is to configure PKCS#11 keystore.
