Remove Signature Field operation

Removes the specified signature field. You cannot remove a signature field if it is signed or certified. To remove a signature, use the Clear Signature Field operation. (See Clear Signature Field operation.)

For example, your application must remove all unsigned signature fields a PDF document before it is archived. You use the Remove Signature Field operation to remove unsigned signature fields from the PDF document.

For information about the General and Route Evaluation property groups, see Common operation properties.

Input properties

Properties to specify the PDF document with a signed signature field and the name of the signature field.

Input PDF

A document value that represents a PDF document that contains a signature field to remove.

If you provide a literal value, clicking the ellipsis button opens the Select Asset dialog box. (See About Select Asset.)

When you provide a PDF document that has unsigned signature fields, it populates the Signature Field Name property as a list. The list contains fully qualified names of the unsigned signature fields in the PDF document.

Signature Field Name

A string value that represents the name of the signature field to remove. The fully qualified name of the signature field can be specified. When using a PDF document based on a form created in Designer, the partial name of the signature field can be used. For example, form1[0].#subform[1].SignatureField3[3] can be specified as SignatureField3[3].

If you are removing a signature field from a PDF document, the partial name of the signature field can also be used. For example, form1[0].#subform[1].SignatureField3[3] can be specified as SignatureField3[3]. If multiple signature fields exist with a similar partial name, the first signature field enumerated with the same partial name is signed. It is recommended that a fully qualified name is used to avoid these situations.

If you provide a literal value for the Signature Field Name property and a literal value is provided in the Input PDF property, a list appears. Select one of the values from the list of fully qualified names. Each fully qualified name represents an unsigned signature field in the provided PDF document.

Output properties
