Search for Metadata e-Signatures Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Signature provides the ability to search for metadata electronic signatures in documents. Metadata signatures allow you to add custom metadata properties to your documents, which can be used to store additional information about the document or its signatures.
The Signature class provides the Search method which allows you to search for metadata 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 MetadataSearchOptions 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 metadata signatures in a document:
from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import MetadataSearchOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import MetadataSignature
# Initialize Signature with input document
with Signature("sample.pdf") as signature:
# Create search options
search_options = MetadataSearchOptions()
# Search for signatures
result = signature.search(search_options)
# Process found signatures
print(f"Found {len(result)} metadata signatures")
for metadata_signature in result:
print(f"Name: {metadata_signature.name}")
print(f"Value: {metadata_signature.value}")
You can customize the search process by setting specific options:
from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import MetadataSearchOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import MetadataSignature
# Initialize Signature with input document
with Signature("sample.pdf") as signature:
# Create search options
search_options = MetadataSearchOptions()
# Set search criteria
search_options.name = "Author" # Search for specific metadata name
search_options.value = "John Doe" # Search for specific metadata value
# Search for signatures
result = signature.search(search_options)
# Process found signatures
print(f"Found {len(result)} metadata signatures")
for metadata_signature in result:
print(f"Name: {metadata_signature.name}")
print(f"Value: {metadata_signature.value}")
