Public classAppearance

The visual appearance of signatures

A signature may have a visual appearance on a page of the document. The visual appearance is optional and has no effect on the validity of the signature. Because of this and because a visual appearance may cover important content of the page, it is recommended to create invisible signatures by default.

Typically, a visual appearance is created for forms with a dedicated area reserved for the appearance. Other transaction documents, e.g. invoices, correspondence, or bank statements, are usually signed without a visual appearance.

The appearance can be positioned on a page using PageNumber, Top, Right, Bottom, and Left. It is recommended to set either Top or Bottom and Right or Left. If all are , the default is to position the appearance in the lower right corner with 12 pt (1/6 inch or 4.2 mm) distance to the bottom and right edge of the page, i.e. Bottom = 12 and Right = 12.
