    Description

      Changes introduced in PDFBOX-3017, PDFBOX-3699 broke the signing functionality.
      A perfectly valid PDF (in 2.0.4) doesn't pass the acrobat preflight test now:

      "Incorrect value type for this key" and "general file format error"
      "The required key /TransformMethod is missing" and "An unexpected value is associated with the key."

      More details see the attached screenshot. I executed the "CreateVisibleSignature.java" code. And if the lines are commented the error is gone.
