Sorry, I missed this earlier. PDF spec turned into an ISO standard with 1.7, and became unavailable without paying since 2.0, but 1.7 at Adobe's site is pretty clear about the signatures (nice, simple section on headers :).

(My phone decided not to let me paste the URL, but it's a quick search away — do not be afraid of the spec, it's quite simple, esp the parts you care about)
