Steps to append a Signature via .NET SDK

Aspose.PDF Cloud developers can easily load & sign PDF documents in just a few lines of code.

  1. Create a new Configuration object with your Application Secret and Key
  2. Create an object to connect to the Cloud API
  3. Upload your document file
  4. Create signature objetcts
  5. Sign PDF document in cloud storage using signature objects and method PostSignatureFieldAsync for the Cloud API
  6. Checks the response and logs the result.
  7. Downloads the updated file for local use.
 

This sample code shows appending signature in PDF documents

    
	public static async Task AddSignatureField()
	{
	    const string localPdfFileName = @"C:\Samples\sample.pdf";
	    const string storageFileName = "sample.pdf";
	    const string localFolder = @"C:\Samples";
	    const string resultFileName = "output_add_signature.pdf";
	    const string storageTempFolder = "YourTempFolder";

	    // Get your AppSid and AppSecret https://dashboard.aspose.cloud (free registration required).
	    var pdfApi = new PdfApi(AppSecret, AppSid);

	    using var file = File.OpenRead(localPdfFileName);
	    var uploadResult = pdfApi.UploadFile(Path.Combine(storageTempFolder, storageFileName), file);
	    Console.WriteLine(uploadResult.Uploaded[0]);

	    Signature signature = new Signature(
	        SignaturePath: Path.Combine(storageTempFolder, SIGNATURE_PFX),
	        SignatureType: SignatureType.PKCS7,
	        Password: SIGNATURE_PASSWORD,
	        Contact: SIGNATURE_CONTACT,
	        Location: SIGNATURE_LOCATION,
	        Visible: true,
	        Rectangle: new Rectangle(100, 100, 500, 500),
	        FormFieldName: SIGNATURE_FORM_FIELD,
	        Authority: SIGNATURE_AUTHORITY,
	        Date: SIGNATURE_DATE,
	        ShowProperties: true);

	    SignatureField field = new SignatureField(
	        PageIndex: 1,
	        Signature: signature,
	        PartialName: fieldName,
	        Rect: config.SIGNATURE_RECT);

	    var response = await pdfApi.PostSignatureFieldAsync(storageFileName, field, folder: storageTempFolder);

	    if (response == null)
	        Console.WriteLine("AddSignatureField(): Unexpected error!");
	    else if (response.Code < 200 || response.Code > 299)
	        Console.WriteLine("AddSignatureField(): Failed to append Pdf document signature.");
	    else {
	        using Stream downloadStream = pdfApi.DownloadFile(Path.Combine(storageTempFolder, storageFileName));
	        using FileStream localStream = File.Create(Path.Combine(localFolder, resultFileName));
	        downloadStream.CopyTo(localStream);
	        Console.WriteLine("AddSignatureField(): Signature appended successfully to the Pdf document '{0}'.", resultFileName);
	    }
	}
 

Work with the Signatures in PDF via .NET SDK

Adding signatures for PDF documents to confirm the authenticity of the author and ensure the legal validity of the signature, guarantee that the document has not been changed after signing, as well as to protect against forgery and unauthorized access. The electronic signature identifies the signer, records the date and time of signing and can be used to verify the document integrity.
Add the Signature for PDF documents with Aspose.PDF Cloud .NET SDK.

With our .NET SDK you can

  • Add PDF document’s header & footer in text or image format.
  • Add tables & text or image stamps to PDF documents.
  • Append multiple PDF documents to an existing file.
  • Work with PDF attachments, annotations, & form fields.
  • Apply encryption or decryption to PDF documents & set a password.
  • Delete all stamps & tables from a page or entire PDF document.
  • Delete a specific stamp or table from the PDF document by its ID.
  • Replace single or multiple instances of text on a PDF page or from the entire document.
  • Extensive support for converting PDF documents to various other file formats.
