I would advise you to deliver your incredible goodwill to a non-profit organization which actually values it instead of working on something for banks :)

The rotten, soulless entities that is banks do not deserve ANY free work.

They don't care about you, they won't value you work, they won't give anything back.

They'll use it to maximize their profits at best.

But most likely, they won't do anything: With absolute certainty, they KNOW that PDFs can be signed. They have to deal with cryptography anyway, and have security consulting.

They very likely intentionally decided to not sign PDFs anyway just because they can get away with it without getting sued, and save money by that.

They very likely hired an external firm to write their PDF export, and the person implementing it was just trying to finish the contract on time and to spec.

The overhead of maintaining a properly secured PKI key and implementing signing of generated PDFs with it is nonzero.

Banks aren't always rotten and soulless, they are cold and lazy machines that do the bare minimum that their customers ask.

This project is great, let's spread awareness that PDFs _can_ keep an internal digital signature and maybe someday their customers will demand it.
