(successful) Apply Signature to PDF

[shelbypons]

Hi everyone,

I was working on an automation which included a step where I save an Excel file as a PDF then apply predefined signature to a specific part of the PDF file. I couldn’t find the answer on any forums, and most people mentioned they used another tool, but I got it working.

(Done in Adobe) The main issue I believe was the activity where you click the “Sign” button and select from the drop down of saved signatures.

When you click on a signature, it is stuck to your mouse, and as a human user, you can drag it to place wherever you like (without holding down any mouse buttons or keys).

AdobeAttachSignature.xaml (19.3 KB) Signature Example PDF.pdf (92.4 KB) It was a challenge to get the bot to do the same, as it would click the signature, but it wouldn’t “stick” to be able to place it on the PDF. The solution I found was to edit the KeyModifier for that click activity to include ctrl as well as click.

Workflow and PDF output example are attached.

Please let me know if you have questions or suggestions!

Thanks,
Shelby
