How to set up measures of rectangle for electronic signature

[robert502]

Could you advice me if It possible to set up measurement of rectangle for an electronic signature ?
I use some graphics in PDF-XChange with my electronic signature and the implicit measures of the rectangle are quite small so in each case I have to enlarge signature area manually. Is there an option how to set the different implicit enlargement the rectangle for an electronic signature?

Hello Robert,

I am afraid that for the moment the only way is to drag the size with the mouse every time you place a new signature.
Will speak with the dev guys to see what their plans for the future are.

Best,

Hello Stefan,
thanks for your quick answer.
Isn’t there a way to use Java script to set up initial measure area for digital signature? I’ve found an example:
(var f = this.getField( "mySigField" );) but I don’t know how to set x,y measures.

Hi, Robert.

You may use the next script:

Code: Select all

var f = this.getField("Signature1");
var r = f.rect;
// r[0]; // left X 
// r[1]; // top Y
r[2] += 50; // right X, width + 50pt 
r[3] -= 50; // bottomY, height + 50pt
f.rect = r;

This java script enlarges the rectangle of dig-sig field named as "Signature1".
Currently there is an issue that after this script is executed the appearance of the signature field is broken(hidden), BUT after you save/close/open the document the field would appear just fine.
The described issue with the field appearance will be fixed in the next build.

Best
Regards.
