Multi-Place Signature Visibility Request

Post by Outfield6759 »

Issue:
    Signatures and Initials display a transparent signature that can be placed and scaled correctly. However, this does not apply a digital signature nor allow multiple page application.
      Place Signature / Multi-Place Signature both show a transparent blue box, but the signature itself is invisible, leading to inconsistent placement. Only after selecting the location and saving the document can you see the signature location.
        Scanned wet signatures vary in height, length, and pixel density, worsening placement issues. While drawing or typing signatures works more reliably, digital facsimile of scanned signatures as required by state regulatory codes, do not.


        Examples:
        Example of using Place Signature which only shows the blue rectangle.

        Example of using Multi-Place Signature, which has the same issue on the right side in the placement viewport.

        Question/Request: Is there a way (and if not), could PDF-Xchange Editor improve in the following ways?
          (Critical) Allow Place Signature and Multi-Place Signature tools to display the signature image in the background during the process of applying a digital signature, not after.
            (Optional) Allow automatic or manual adjustment of signature image dimensions, crop, background, and pixel density when importing scanned signatures for future use.

            Hello, Outfield6759

            Thank you for the suggestions, I have passed these along to the Dev team for review and consideration. I cannot promise an implementation at this time, but if I hear good news back from them, I will be sure to post here and let you know!

            Kind regards,
