Properties of the Signature Field

[Former Community Member]

How can I extract certain properties of the Signature Field?

Basically I want to extract the name of the Signator in order to assign rights. I also have a "Approved Name" Field that the user fills out and I feel I can eliminate that field and ensure accuracy.

Any Advice?

Take a look at the SignatureInfo object in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. You can get a SignatureInfo object in a Designer form using script like the following.



var acroSOM = SigField.somExpression.substr(15, SigField.somExpression.length - 1);

var acroField = event.target.getField(acroSOM);

var sigInfo = acroField.signatureinfo();

there is also support for this to be done using Java API, and it's possible to obtain all the data from the signature field.

The only problem for that is that requires Document Security licence, I believe.
