eSign document with Text signature Leave feedback

A Text electronic signature is an arbitrary text that is added to a document in a native way dependent on document type. GroupDocs.Signature provides text signature feature and allows to customize wide range of text settings - from font name, size and color to alignment, borders, shadow effects etc. This is how text signature may look like:  

Let’s try to add digital signature to a PDF programmatically.

To manipulate with text signatures programmatically GroupDocs.Signature provides TextSignOptions class and the whole workflow as easy as follows:

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter.
• Instantiate the TextSignOptions object according to your requirements and specify Text signature options.
• Call Sign method of Signature class instance and pass TextSignOptions to it.

This example shows how to add Text signature to document.

using (Signature signature = new Signature("sample.pdf"))
{
    TextSignOptions options = new TextSignOptions("John Smith")
    {
        // set signature position
        Left = 100,
        Top = 100,
        // set signature rectangle
        Width = 100,
        Height = 30,
        // set Text color and Font
        ForeColor = Color.Red,
        Font = new SignatureFont { Size = 12, FamilyName = "Comic Sans MS" }
    };
    // sign document to file
    signature.Sign("sample_signed.pdf", options);
}
