Sign document with Image signature - advanced
GroupDocs.Signature provides ImageSignOptions class to specify different options for Image signature as follow
- signature alignment (setHorizontalAlignment, setVerticalAlignment)
- margins (setMargin)
- additional extensions and appearances (setExtensions, setAppearance)
Here are the steps to add Image signature into document with GroupDocs.Signature:
- Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter.
- Instantiate the ImageSignOptions object according to your requirements and specify image signature options.
- Call sign method of Signature class instance and pass ImageSignOptions to it.
- Analyze SignResult result to check newly created signatures if needed.
This example shows how to specify different Image signature options. See SignResult
Signature signature = new Signature(sample.xlsx);
ImageSignOptions options = new ImageSignOptions("sample.jpg");
// set signature position
options.setLeft(100);
options.setTop(100);
// set signature rectangle
options.setWidth(100);
options.setHeight(30);
// set signature alignment
// when VerticalAlignment is set the Top coordinate will be ignored.
// Use Margin properties Top, Bottom to provide vertical offset
options.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.Top);
// when HorizontalAlignment is set the Left coordinate will be ignored.
// Use Margin properties Left, Right to provide horizontal offset
options.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Right);
Padding padding = new Padding();
padding.setRight(20);
padding.setTop(20);
options.setMargin(padding);
// set rotation
options.setRotationAngle(45);
// setup image additional appearance as Brightness and Border
ImageAppearance imageAppearance = new ImageAppearance();
Border border = new Border();
border.setColor(Color.GREEN);
border.setDashStyle(DashStyle.DashLongDashDot);
border.setWeight(2);
border.setTransparency(0.5);
border.setVisible(true);
imageAppearance.setBorder(border);
imageAppearance.setBrightness(0.9f);
options.setAppearance(imageAppearance);
// sign document to file
SignResult signResult = signature.sign("sgnedSample.xlsx", 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());
}
