Portable Signer is the most well maintained of all.

Unfortunately, none of the tools is currently maintained and none can be found in Ubuntu packages. The total list of opensource tools available for your purpose is: You might then expect Ubuntu PDF manipulation tools like qpdf, which provides encryption, or pdftk, which provides watermarking, to provide signing features too, but, no, they don't. You might expect Ubuntu document signing tools like qdigidoc or gpg would do, but no, they don't play with PDF signatures. It requires a private key in a p12 file though (not compatible with SmartCard).
