Examples

Shows how to sign a document with a personal certificate and a signature line.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
signature_line_options = aw.SignatureLineOptions()
signature_line_options.signer = 'vderyushev'
signature_line_options.signer_title = 'QA'
signature_line_options.email = 'vderyushev@aspose.com'
signature_line_options.show_date = True
signature_line_options.default_instructions = False
signature_line_options.instructions = 'Please sign here.'
signature_line_options.allow_comments = True
signature_line = builder.insert_signature_line(signature_line_options).signature_line
signature_line.provider_id = uuid.UUID('CF5A7BB4-8F3C-4756-9DF6-BEF7F13259A2')
self.assertFalse(signature_line.is_signed)
self.assertFalse(signature_line.is_valid)
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.signature_line_provider_id.docx')
sign_options = aw.digitalsignatures.SignOptions()
sign_options.signature_line_id = signature_line.id
sign_options.provider_id = signature_line.provider_id
sign_options.comments = 'Document was signed by vderyushev'
sign_options.sign_time = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

aw.digitalsignatures.DigitalSignatureUtil.sign(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.signature_line_provider_id.docx', ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.signature_line_provider_id.signed.docx', cert_holder, sign_options)
# Re-open our saved document, and verify that the "is_signed" and "is_valid" properties both equal "True",
# indicating that the signature line contains a signature.
doc = aw.Document(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.signature_line_provider_id.signed.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
signature_line = shape.signature_line
self.assertTrue(signature_line.is_signed)
self.assertTrue(signature_line.is_valid)

Shows how to insert an inline signature line into a document.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
options = aw.SignatureLineOptions()
options.signer = 'John Doe'
options.signer_title = 'Manager'
options.email = 'johndoe@aspose.com'
options.show_date = True

# The signature line can be signed in Microsoft Word by double clicking it.
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.SignatureLineInline.docx')
