On this page
GroupDocs.Signature contains ImageAppearance class that implements extra image adjustment setting like
- gray-scale (Grayscale)
- brightness (Brightness)
- contrast (Contrast)
- gamma correction (GammaCorrection)
- border (Border)
Base signature class SignOptions property Appearance should be set with instance of ImageAppearance class to provide additional image adjustment
Here are the steps to setup extra image appearance with GroupDocs.Signature:
- Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter.
- Compose object ofImageAppearance object with all required additional options.
- Set SignOptions.Appearance property with ImageAppearance object.
- Call Sign method of Signature class instance and pass SignOptions to it.
- Analyze SignResult result to check newly created signatures if needed.
This example shows how to specify extra image appearances. See SignResult
using (Signature signature = new Signature("sample.pdf"))
{
ImageSignOptions options = new ImageSignOptions("sample.jpg")
{
// set signature position
Left = 100,
Top = 100,
// set signature rectangle
Width = 100,
Height = 30,
// set signature alignment
VerticalAlignment = Domain.VerticalAlignment.Bottom,
HorizontalAlignment = Domain.HorizontalAlignment.Right,
Margin = new Padding() { Bottom = 20, Right = 20 },
// setup image additional appearance as Brightness and Border
Appearance = new ImageAppearance()
{
Grayscale = true,
Contrast = 0.2f,
GammaCorrection = 0.3f,
Brightness = 0.9f,
Border = new Border()

DashStyle = DashStyle.DashLongDashDot,
Transparency = 0.5,
