If your document fulfills the following requirements this should be easy to do just by using the standard extension mechanism available via the Nuxeo Platform:

  • Your custom document has a primary binary document of MIME type "application/pdf"
    />This is because this signature plugin signs only PDF documents
    />
    />
  • Your custom document is associated with the "files" schema
    />You need this for storing old versions of signed binaries
Here is how you would activate the "Signature" tab on your custom document type:
	<action id="sign_view_custom" link="/incl/tabs/sign_view.xhtml"
		enabled="true" label="Signature" icon="/icons/certificates.png" order="60">
		<category>VIEW_ACTION_LIST</category>
		<filter id="signature_filter">
			<rule grant="true">
				<type>File</type>
				<type>MY_CUSTOM_DOCUMENT_ID</type>

Thanks Wojciech, but I'm still having trouble connecting my electronic signature to a custom document... I've tried using your code but I keep getting an error message.. Help!

Could you please provide more details? I am not able to provide you with any recommendations without the information about your error?
