Can I bind and save to the same path?

PdfFileSignature signature = new PdfFileSignature();
signature.bindPdf(processedFilePath);
signature.getSignNames().forEach(signature::removeSignature);
signature.save(processedFilePath);
signature.close();

Yes, you can bind and save a PDF file to the same path using the PdfFileSignature class in Aspose.PDF for Java. Your implementation is mostly correct, but it’s important to ensure that the file is not locked or in use when you attempt to save it back to the same path.

Here’s a refined version of your code snippet:

PdfFileSignature signature = new PdfFileSignature();
signature.bindPdf(processedFilePath);

// Remove existing signatures
signature.getSignNames().forEach(signature::removeSignature);

// Save the modified PDF back to the same path
signature.save(processedFilePath);

// Close the signature object
signature.close();

In this code:

  • You first bind the PDF file to the PdfFileSignature object.
  • Then, you remove any existing signatures.
  • Finally, you save the changes back to the same file path and close the object to release any resources.

Make sure that the file is not being accessed by another process when you perform the save operation to avoid any file access issues.
