eSign document with multiple signatures Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature allows signing a document with several signatures simultaneously and even apply signatures of different types to the same document.

Doing this is as simple as:

• Create a new instance of the Signature class and pass the source document path or stream as a constructor parameter.
• Instantiate all required sign options objects depending on signature type:
  • BarcodeSignOptions - for Barcode signatures;
  • DigitalSignOptions - for Digital signatures;
  • FormFieldSignOptions - for Form-field signatures;
  • ImageSignOptions - for Image signatures;
  • MetadataSignOptions - for Metadata signatures;
  • QrCodeSignOptions - for QR-code signatures
  • StampSIgnOptions - for Stamp signatures;
  • TextSignOptions - for Text signatures.
• Fill the collection with sign options from the previous step.
• Call the Sign method of the Signature class instance and pass the collection of sign options to it.

This code snippet below demonstrates how to eSign a PDF document with multiple signatures at the same time.

using (Signature signature = new Signature("sample.pdf"))
{
    // define several signature options of different types and settings
    TextSignOptions textOptions = new TextSignOptions("This is test message")
    {
        VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
        HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left
    };

    BarcodeSignOptions barcodeOptions = new BarcodeSignOptions("123456")
    {
        EncodeType = BarcodeTypes.Code128,
        Left = 100,
        Top = 100
    };
    QrCodeSignOptions qrcodeOptions = new QrCodeSignOptions("JohnSmith")
    {
        EncodeType = QrCodeTypes.QR,
        Left = 100,
        Top = 200
    };
    DigitalSignOptions digitalOptions = new DigitalSignOptions("certificate.pfx")
    {
        ImageFilePath = Constants.ImageHandwrite,
        VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center,
        HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center,
        Password = "1234567890"
    };
    // define list of signature options
    List<SignOptions> listOptions = new List<SignOptions>();
    listOptions.Add(textOptions);
    listOptions.Add(barcodeOptions);
    listOptions.Add(qrcodeOptions);
    listOptions.Add(digitalOptions);

    // sign document to file
    signature.Sign("signed.pdf", listOptions);
}    

This guide demonstrates how to apply multiple types of electronic signatures (e.g., text, barcode, image) to a document using GroupDocs.Signature . It explains how to combine different signature types, configure each one, and save the signed document with multiple signature styles.
