Locating signature on page with different measure units Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Signature supports locating signature on document page with different measure units. Enumeration MeasureType handles following types
- MeasureType.Pixels allows to locate signature position and size with pixels (default value)
- MeasureType.Millimeters allows to locate signature on page and setup size by setting millimeters
- MeasureType.Percents allows to locate signature position, size with percentage of page size
Here are the steps to locate and size signature area with different measure unit types:
- Set property setLocationMeasureType with of one values above to specify how to implement values in properties setLeft, setTop
- Set property setSizeMeasureType with of one values above to specify how to implement size of signature values in properties setWidth, setHeight
- Set property setMarginMeasureType with of one values above to specify how to implement values in property setMargin
This example shows how to specify positioning in millimeters.
// instantiating the signature object
final Signature signature = new Signature("sample.docx");
try
{
// setup options with text of signature
BarcodeSignOptions signOptions = new BarcodeSignOptions("12345678");
// setup Barcode encoding type
signOptions.setEncodeType(BarcodeTypes.Code128);
// set signature position in absolute position
signOptions.setLocationMeasureType(MeasureType.Millimeters);
signOptions.setLeft(40);
signOptions.setTop(50);
// set signature area in millimeters
signOptions.setSizeMeasureType(MeasureType.Millimeters);
signOptions.setWidth(20);
signOptions.setHeight(10);
// set margin in millimeters
signOptions.setMarginMeasureType(MeasureType.Millimeters);
Padding padding = new Padding();
padding.setTop(5);
padding.setLeft(5);
padding.setRight(5);
signOptions.setMargin(padding);
// sign document
SignResult signResult = signature.sign("signedSample.docx", options);
// analyzing result
System.out.print("List of newly created signatures:");
int number = 1;
for(BaseSignature temp : signResult.getSucceeded())
{
System.out.print("Signature #"+ number++ +": Type: "+temp.getSignatureType()+" Id:"+temp.getSignatureId()+
",Location: "+temp.getLeft()+"x"+temp.getTop()+". Size: "+temp.getWidth()+"x"+temp.getHeight());
}
}catch (Exception e){
throw new GroupDocsSignatureException(e.getMessage());
}
