How to add an Ink signature to a pdf.
Last Updated 11 months ago
This article shows how to add an Ink signature over a signature annot.
You need a premium license to do this.
First of all you have to check the annot type and then launch your activity/view that handles signature capture using Ink features:
if(m_annot != null && m_annot.GetFieldType() == 4){ //save annot position, here will be placed the annot with the sign yourPosition = m_annot.GetRect(); //handle annot startActivityForResult(new Intent(PDFReaderAct.this, CaptureSignatureActivity.class), SIGNATURE_ACTIVITY); }
You have to save the signature into a Bitmap (yourSignatureBitmap)
Then, when you have captured and saved the signature, add it to the pdf :
@Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (requestCode == SIGNATURE_ACTIVITY) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) { if (data.getStringExtra("status").equalsIgnoreCase("done")) { Page currentPage = m_doc.GetPage(yourSignPage); String file_cache = Global.tmp_path + "/temp.dat"; m_doc.SetCache(file_cache); //set temporary cache for editing. //add annot if (currentPage.AddAnnotBitmap(yourSignatureBitmap, true, yourPosition)) //lock the annot (if necessary) currentPage.GetAnnot(currentPage.GetAnnotCount() - 1).SetLocked(true); // scale + refresh pagina m_vPDF.PDFSetScale(0); m_vPDF.PDFSave(); } } } }
