PDF signature

Hi Sean, 1 - Can you share your code? Adding multiple signatures from the same signer should be done like this:

 DocumentPackage documentPackage = newPackageNamed( "Sample Document" )
                .withSigner( newSignerWithEmail( "[email protected]" )
                        .withFirstName( "John" )
                        .withLastName( "Doe" ))
                .withDocument( newDocumentWithName( "First Document" )
                        .fromFile( "DOCUMENT_FILE_PATH" )
                        .withSignature( signatureFor( "[email protected]" )
                                .onPage( 0 )
                                .atPosition( 500, 100 )
                                .withSize( 200, 50 ) )
                        .withSignature( signatureFor( "[email protected]" )
                                .onPage( 0 )
                                .atPosition( 100, 100 )
                                .withSize( 200, 50 ) ))
                .build();

2 & 3 - With document extraction, you only have to place a field named in such a way that eSignLive may recognize it to place a signature field exactly where you want it. Hence, you can avoid using the iText library. Here is a blog that shows how to use document extraction. Although the blog is in C#/.NET, the general idea is there: https://www.silanis.com/blog/e-signlive-how-to-document-extraction-net-sdk/ Just as an FYI, document extraction will take care of 1-2-3 for you. Hope this helps :)

here is the code, below, it is pretty standard I guess. we need to use iText because of the operations around the PDF. I may be able to find a way around it, but I prefer to just send it as is if it is possible. is there a way that it can recongnize the field names just the way they are? thanks, `SignatureBuilder signatureBuilder = signatureFor(email); // if field name is not null, try to extract the // coordinates from the filed. otherwise rely on // the data in the signature to set the page and position // of the signature fields. if(fields != null && fieldName != null){ field = fields.get(signature.getFieldName()); if(field != null){ Position p = field.getPositions().get(0); signatureBuilder.onPage(p.getPage()>0?p.getPage()-1:p.getPage()); signatureBuilder.atPosition(p.getX(), p.getY()); signatureBuilder.withSize(p.getWidth(), p.getHeight()); fieldNameIsValid = true; } } // if field name did not successfully identify the // coordinates, then rely on the signature itself for // the signature coordinates and page number. if(!fieldNameIsValid){ signatureBuilder.onPage(Integer.parseInt(signature.getPageNum())); signatureBuilder.atPosition( Integer.parseInt(signature.getXCoordinate()), Integer.parseInt(signature.getYCoordinate())); } documentBuilder.withSignature( signatureBuilder); SignerBuilder signerBuilder = newSignerWithEmail( email ); signerBuilder.withCustomId(signature.getId()); signerBuilder.withFirstName(signature.getFirstName()); signerBuilder.withLastName(signature.getLastName()); packageBuilder.withSigner(signerBuilder);`

Yes, you can make it work with the fields as they are but you would have to know all the field names. For example:

 .withSignature( signatureFor( "[email protected]" )
                                .withName("sig1") )

Where sig1 is the signature form field name. With extraction enabled ( .enableExtraction() ), it will find the field. Otherwise, you would need to do .WithPositionExtracted() for each individual signature block.
