Search for Form Field e-Signatures Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Signature provides the ability to search for form field electronic signatures in documents. Form field signatures allow you to add interactive form elements like text boxes, checkboxes, and radio buttons to your documents.
The Signature class provides the Search method which allows you to search for form field signatures in documents. Here’s how to use it:
- Create a new instance of the Signature class and pass the source document path as a parameter.
- Create an instance of FormFieldSearchOptions class.
- Call the Search method of the Signature class instance and pass the search options to it.
- Process the search results.
Here’s an example of how to search for form field signatures in a document:
from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import FormFieldSearchOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import FormFieldSignature
# Initialize Signature with input document
with Signature("sample.pdf") as signature:
# Create search options
search_options = FormFieldSearchOptions()
# Search for signatures
result = signature.search(search_options)
# Process found signatures
print(f"Found {len(result)} form field signatures")
for form_field_signature in result:
print(f"Page: {form_field_signature.page_number}")
print(f"Field Name: {form_field_signature.name}")
print(f"Field Type: {form_field_signature.field_type}")
print(f"Field Value: {form_field_signature.value}")
You can customize the search process by setting specific options:
from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import FormFieldSearchOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import FormFieldSignature
# Initialize Signature with input document
with Signature("sample.pdf") as signature:
# Create search options
search_options = FormFieldSearchOptions()
# Set search criteria
search_options.page_number = 1 # Search on specific page
search_options.all_pages = False # Search only on specified page
search_options.field_name = "signature" # Search for specific field name
# Search for signatures
result = signature.search(search_options)
# Process found signatures
print(f"Found {len(result)} form field signatures")
for form_field_signature in result:
print(f"Page: {form_field_signature.page_number}")
print(f"Field Name: {form_field_signature.name}")
print(f"Field Type: {form_field_signature.field_type}")
print(f"Field Value: {form_field_signature.value}")
