Add Clear Signatures to Your PDF Reports

PDF visual signatures allow you to embed a clear, on-page representation of a digital signature directly into your exported reports, combining the security of a certified digital signature with the clarity of a visibly signed document. This feature instantly communicates authenticity and approval, helping recipients quickly verify who signed the report without navigating hidden metadata. It enhances professionalism with styled signature blocks that can include names, titles, dates, or branding elements, reinforcing trust and consistency across all distributed documents. Common use cases include signed invoices, compliance reports, approval forms, contracts, certificates, and any document that requires both a secure digital signature and a visually identifiable sign-off for clarity and reassurance.

Several .NET Reporting controls offer PDF visual signature support including:

• DevExpress Reporting lets you embed secure visual signatures into PDFs, providing clear on-page approval, enhanced professionalism, and document verification.
