GroupDocs.Signature for .NET is a native .NET API to digitally sign documents using various signature types such as text, image, barcode, stamp, form-field, QR-code and metadata. Users can easily add, edit, verify, remove and find digital signatures within PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel worksheets, PowerPoint presentations, Adobe Photoshop, metafiles and image file formats with additional support for customizing signature properties as needed.
GroupDocs.Signature makes it easy for .NET developers to edit digital signatures from GIF files within their applications by implementing a few easy steps.
GroupDocs.Signature for .NET APIs are supported on all major platforms and operating systems. Before executing the code below, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system.
using (Signature signature = new Signature("sampleSigned.pdf"))
{
TextSearchOptions options = new TextSearchOptions();
// search for text signatures in document
List signatures = signature.Search(options);
if(signatures.Count > 0)
{
TextSignature textSignature = signatures[0];
// change Text property
textSignature.Text = "John Walkman";
// change position
textSignature.Left = textSignature.Left + 10;
textSignature.Top = textSignature.Top + 10;
// change size. Please note not all documents support changing signature size
textSignature.Width = 200;
textSignature.Height = 100;
bool result = signature.Update(textSignature);
if(result)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Signature with Text '{textSignature.Text}' was updated in the document ['{fileName}'].");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine($"Signature was not updated in the document! Signature with Text '{textSignature.Text}' was not found!");
}
}
}

A GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a type of highly compressed image. Owned by Unisys, GIF uses the LZW compression algorithm that does not degrade the image quality. For each image GIF typically allow up to 8 bits per pixel and up to 256 colours are allowed across the image. In contrast to a JPEG image, which can display up to 16 million colours and fairly touches the limits of the human eye. Back when the internet emerged, GIFs remained the best choice because they required low bandwidth and compatible for the graphics that consume solid areas of colour. An animated GIF combines numerous images or frames into a single file and displays them in a sequence to generate an animated clip or a short video. The colour limitations are up to 256 for each frame and are likely to be the least suitable for reproducing other images and photographs with colour gradient.
