Search for Text e-signatures Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature provides TextSearchOptions class to specify different options to search for Text electronic signatures within document.

Here are the steps to search for Text e-signatures using GroupDocs.Signature API:

• Create a new instance of the Signature class and pass the source document path as a constructor parameter.
• Instantiate the TextSearchOptions object according to your requirements and specify additional search options (if needed).
• Call the Search method of the Signature class instance and pass the TextSearchOptions to it.

This example shows how to search for Text e-signature in the document.

  // The path to the documents directory.
  const filePath = Constants.SAMPLE_SIGNED_MULTI; 
  const fileName = path.basename(filePath);
  const signature = new signatureLib.Signature(filePath);

  // Setup search options
  const options = new signatureLib.TextSearchOptions();
  options.setAllPages(true);

  // Search for text signatures in the document
  const signatures = signature.search(signatureLib.TextSignature.class, options).toArray();
  console.log(`\nSource document ['${fileName}'] contains the following text signature(s).`);

  // Enumerate all signatures for output
  for (const textSignature of signatures) {
    console.log(`Found Text signature at page ${textSignature.getPageNumber()} with type [${textSignature.getSignatureImplementation()}] and text '${textSignature.getText()}'.`);
  }
