Resizing a Signature in PDF

Environment

Product	RadSignature for ASP.NET AJAX
Version	all

Description

I want to resize a signature in a PDF document using RadSignature for ASP.NET AJAX. I have code that places the signature in the PDF, but I'm not able to resize it to a smaller size to fit it in the form.

Solution

The solution is based on the Signing Pdf Documents demo. To resize the signature in the PDF document, you can modify the code as follows:

Before translating the position of the foregroundContentOwner, apply a scaling transformation to resize it. Choose the scaling factors (width and height) based on your requirements.

CS

using (pageWriter.SaveContentPosition())
{
    // Scale the signature
    double scaleX = 0.3; // Example scaling factor for width
    double scaleY = 0.3; // Example scaling factor for height
    pageWriter.ContentPosition.Scale(scaleX, scaleY);

    // Adjust the translation values
    double xCenteringTranslation = ((pageSource.Size.Width - (foregroundContentOwner.Size.Width * scaleX)) - 120) / 2;
    double yCenteringTranslation = ((pageSource.Size.Height - (foregroundContentOwner.Size.Height * scaleY)) - 110);

    pageWriter.ContentPosition.Translate(xCenteringTranslation, yCenteringTranslation);
    pageWriter.WriteContent(foregroundContentOwner);
}

This modified code will scale the signature and adjust its position to fit it within the PDF document. The example scaling factors used are 0.3 for both width and height. Adjust these values according to your requirements.

Notes

• Ensure that you have the latest version of RadSignature for ASP.NET AJAX.
• Adjust the scaling factors (scaleX and scaleY) according to your requirements to resize the signature.
• Modify the translation values (xCenteringTranslation and yCenteringTranslation) to adjust the position of the signature after scaling.
• This solution is based on the Signing PDF Documents demo and may require additional modifications to fit your implementation.
