Django Endesive¶
Django endesive PDF digital signing utility. This package allows you to digitally sign a PDF document from your Django application. It is based on https://github.com/m32/endesive
In order to digitally sign your pdf documents you will need a valid p12 / pfx certificate. You can use a self-signed certificate for testing purposes but you should aquire a certificate from a Certificate Authority for production.
Special PDF certificates issued by partners on the AATL (Adobe Approved Trust List).
Documentation¶
The full documentation is at https://django-endesive.readthedocs.io.
Quickstart¶
Install Django Endesive:
pip install django-endesive
Add it to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django_endesive.apps.DjangoEndesiveConfig',
...
)
Add the following to your setup to your settings.py file:
DJANGO_ENDESIVE = {
'PDF_CERTIFICATE_PATH': 'required: /path/to/your/certificate',
'PDF_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD': 'optional: certificate password if applicable',
'PDF_ATTRIBUTES': {
'CONTACT': 'optional: <you@example.com>',
'LOCATION': 'optional: <your location>',
'REASON': 'optional: <Reason for Document validation>'
}
}
Here is a rather contrived example of how you would sign your pdf:
from django_endesive import pdf
from endesive.pdf import fpdf
# Generate a pdf file (this could be any file already generated by your app)
doc = fpdf.FPDF()
doc.add_page()
doc.set_font('helvetica', '', 13.0)
doc.cell(w=75.0, h=22.0, align='C',
txt='Hello, world page=1.', border=0, ln=0)
doc.output('./pdf.pdf', "F")
# Open file and feed bytes to the sign function
pdf_bytes = open('./pdf.pdf', 'rb').read()
signed_pdf = pdf.sign(pdf_bytes=pdf_bytes)
# signed_pdf bytes can now be written to a bytestream in memory or saved to a file on disk
Running Tests¶
Does the code actually work?
source <YOURVIRTUALENV>/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip install tox
(myenv) $ tox

If you are reporting a bug, please include:
- Your operating system name and version.
- Any details about your local setup that might be helpful in troubleshooting.
- Detailed steps to reproduce the bug.
Fix Bugs¶
Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with “bug” is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Implement Features¶
Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with “feature” is open to whoever wants to implement it.
Write Documentation¶
Django Endesive could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Django Endesive docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
Submit Feedback¶
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/zengoma/django-endesive/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
- Explain in detail how it would work.
- Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Get Started!¶
Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up django-endesive for local development.
Fork the django-endesive repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/django-endesive.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv django-endesive $ cd django-endesive/ $ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 django_endesive tests $ python setup.py test $ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Pull Request Guidelines¶
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
- The pull request should include tests.
- If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
- The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/zengoma/django-endesive/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
