Delete signatures of the certain type Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature provides ability to delete signatures of the certain type from the documents over Delete method.
Please be aware that Delete method modifies the same document that was passed to constructor of Signature class.

Here are the steps to delete signatures of the certain type from the document with GroupDocs.Signature:

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter;
• Instantiate SearchOptions object with desired properties;
• Call Search method to obtain list of signatures;
• Select from list signature object(s) that should be removed from the document;
• Call Signature object Delete method and pass one or several signatures to it.

This example shows how to delete signatures of the certain type that was found using Search method.

import groupdocs.signature as signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import SearchOptions

# Initialize signature
with signature.Signature("signed.docx") as sign:
    # Create search options
    options = SearchOptions()
    
    # Search for signatures in the document
    signatures = sign.search(options)
    
    if len(signatures) > 0:
        # Get first signature
        signature_to_delete = signatures[0]
        result = sign.delete(signature_to_delete)
        
        if result:
            print(
                f"Signature of type {signature_to_delete.signature_type} "
                f"was deleted from document ['{fileName}']."
            )
        else:
            print(
                f"Signature was not deleted from the document! "
                f"Signature of type {signature_to_delete.signature_type} "
                f"was not found!"
            )
