Search for Image e-Signatures Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Signature provides the ability to search for image electronic signatures in documents. Image signatures allow you to add visual elements like logos, stamps, or handwritten signatures to your documents.
An image signature is a graphical element that can be added to a document to represent a signature. It can be:
- A scanned handwritten signature
- A company logo
- A stamp or seal
- Any other graphical element used for signing
The Signature class provides the Search method which allows you to search for image 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 ImageSearchOptions 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 image signatures in a document:
from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import ImageSearchOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import ImageSignature
# Initialize Signature with input document
with Signature("sample.pdf") as signature:
# Create search options
search_options = ImageSearchOptions()
# Search for signatures
result = signature.search(search_options)
# Process found signatures
print(f"Found {len(result)} image signatures")
for image_signature in result:
print(f"Page: {image_signature.page_number}")
print(f"Position: X={image_signature.left}, Y={image_signature.top}")
print(f"Size: Width={image_signature.width}, Height={image_signature.height}")
You can customize the search process by setting specific options:
from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import ImageSearchOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import ImageSignature
# Initialize Signature with input document
with Signature("sample.pdf") as signature:
# Create search options
search_options = ImageSearchOptions()
# Set search criteria
search_options.page_number = 1 # Search on specific page
search_options.all_pages = False # Search only on specified page
# Search for signatures
result = signature.search(search_options)
# Process found signatures
print(f"Found {len(result)} image signatures")
for image_signature in result:
print(f"Page: {image_signature.page_number}")
print(f"Position: X={image_signature.left}, Y={image_signature.top}")
print(f"Size: Width={image_signature.width}, Height={image_signature.height}")
