GroupDocs.Signature provides TextSignature class to manipulate text signatures location, size and textual content.
Please be aware that Update method modifies the same document that was passed to constructor of Signature class.

This example shows how to update Text signature that was found using  Search method.

using (Signature signature = new Signature("sampleSigned.pdf"))
{
    TextSearchOptions options = new TextSearchOptions();
    // search for text signatures in document
    List<TextSignature> signatures = signature.Search<TextSignature>(options);
    if(signatures.Count > 0)
    {
        TextSignature textSignature = signatures[0];
        // change Text property
        textSignature.Text = "John Walkman";
        // change position
        textSignature.Left = textSignature.Left + 10;
        textSignature.Top = textSignature.Top + 10;
        // change size. Please note not all documents support changing signature size
        textSignature.Width = 200;
        textSignature.Height = 100;
        bool result = signature.Update(textSignature);
        if(result)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Signature with Text '{textSignature.Text}' was updated in the document ['{fileName}'].");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Signature was not updated in  the document! Signature with Text '{textSignature.Text}' was not found!");
