Delete Signatures of the certain types Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature provides overloaded deleteByTypes method that accepts list of the SignatureType enumeration values. Please be aware that this method modifies the same document that was passed to constructor of the Signature class.

Here are the steps to delete signature by certain types from the document with GroupDocs.Signature:

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path or its stream as a constructor parameter;
• Call Signature object deleteByTypes  method and pass list of the required SignatureType enumerations to it.

This example shows how to delete various signatures types from the document at once.

Signature signature = new Signature(outputFilePath);
{
	// compose the list of signature types to delete
	List<Integer> signedTypes = new ArrayList<Integer>();
	signedTypes.add(SignatureType.Text);
	signedTypes.add(SignatureType.Image);
	signedTypes.add(SignatureType.Barcode);
	signedTypes.add(SignatureType.QrCode);
	signedTypes.add(SignatureType.Digital);

	// deleting signatures from the document by signature types
	DeleteResult result = signature.deleteByTypes(outputFilePath,signedTypes);
	if (result.getSucceeded().size() > 0)
	{
		System.out.print("Following signatures were removed:");
		int number = 1;
		for(BaseSignature temp : result.getSucceeded())
		{
			System.out.print("Signature #"+number++ +": Type: "+temp.getSignatureType()+" Id:"+temp.getSignatureId()+". Created: "+temp.getCreatedOn());
		}
	}
	else
	{
		System.out.print("No one signature was deleted.");
	}
}
