You'll be stuck forever if you don't provide more details.
Where did you get the signature file from?
Does it also fail if signing in Acrobat?
What iText version are you using?
What particular code are you using from
http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/howtosign.html?

Paulo

Thanks for your prompt reply. I created self signed digital id in two differnent ways First by using command line keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias jaya -keypass matrix -keystore keystore.ks when i use this key i got following exception java.io.IOException: DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=109, too big. it also fails sighing in acrobat professional. Second by using tool given by acrobat professional. when i use this key following key Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/asn1/DEREncodable i have downloaded latest version of itext from svn and compiled it. Here is the code that i used to sign the PDF. ks = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12"); ks.load(new FileInputStream("jaya.pfx"), "matrix321".toCharArray()); String alias = (String) ks.aliases().nextElement(); PrivateKey key = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey(alias, "matrix321".toCharArray()); Certificate[] chain = ks.getCertificateChain(alias); PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("signature.pdf"); FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("signed.pdf"); PdfStamper stp = PdfStamper.createSignature(reader, fout, '\0'); PdfSignatureAppearance sap = stp.getSignatureAppearance(); sap.setCrypto(key, chain, null, PdfSignatureAppearance.WINCER_SIGNED); sap.setReason("I'm the author"); sap.setLocation("Kathmandu"); // comment next line to have an invisible signature sap.setVisibleSignature(new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200), 1, null); stp.close(); Please help me. where did i make mistake??

Add lib\bcprov-jdk14-135.jar (from SVN) to your runtime class path to avoid
this error.
