Delete Text signatures from documents Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature provides TextSignature class to manipulate text signatures and delete them 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 Text signature from the document with GroupDocs.Signature:

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter;
• Instantiate TextSearchOptions object with desired properties;
• Call Search method to obtain list of TextSignature;
• Select from list TextSignature 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 Text signature that was found using Search method.

import groupdocs.signature as signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import TextSearchOptions

# Initialize signature
with signature.Signature("signed.docx") as sign:
    # Create search options
    options = TextSearchOptions()
    
    # Search for text signatures in the document
    signatures = sign.search(options)
    
    if len(signatures) > 0:
        text_signature = signatures[0]
        result = sign.delete(text_signature)
        
        if result:
            print(
                f"Text signature at location {text_signature.left}x{text_signature.top} "
                f"and size {text_signature.size} was deleted from document ['{fileName}']."
            )
        else:
            print(
                f"Signature was not deleted from the document! "
                f"Signature at location {text_signature.left}x{text_signature.top} "
                f"and size {text_signature.size} was not found!"
            )
