Work with Signature in PDF
Extracting signatures from a PDF is essential for verifying document authenticity, auditing digital transactions, and ensuring compliance with legal or regulatory standards. By retrieving signature fields, organizations can confirm who signed the document, when it was signed, and whether the document has been altered since. This process helps maintain trust in digital workflows and provides traceable evidence of approval or agreement. Extract Signature from PDF documents with Aspose.PDF Cloud Node.js SDK.
