signpdf's Introduction

signpdf

This fork:

Several improvements:

1) Direct clicking of PDF images

2) Specify page number to sign on multi-page PDFs

3) Add today's date to a second clicked location

4) Add some text to the clicked location instead of signature (example: printed full name)

5) Supports as many signatures or text adds as you want without restarting on a renamed file

5) Rename output file ... `_signed_XX.pdf`  where `XX` are your initials

6) Save your sig file location and your initials in a config file in your home dir.

=======

A quick script to add signature images to PDFs, because I couldn't find anything that worked well for the purpose under Linux.

Pros: should work with most PDFs, and with signatures as PNG's or JPG's. It preserves the incoming PDF's text format (e.g. doesn't convert every page to images like some alternatives). Just click a preview of the desired page to indicate where your signature and date should go.

Cons: hard coded signature file size

pip install signpdf
