How to capture signatures from a web application – Developer Support

There are three main options for capturing signatures from a web application:

1. The Wacom Ink SDK for Signatures for JavaScript

As the name implies, this is designed purely for use with JavaScript. Some of the main advantages are:

i) It is cross-platform

ii) It does not require the installation of any software on the client PC

Details on browser compatibility can be found in the README document for the sample code on GitHub.

NB: the ink SDK for Signatures for JavaScript is charged on a transaction basis, i.e. per signature, and in most cases the minimum number of transactions is 10,000 per year.

Sample code for this SDK is available at https://github.com/Wacom-Developer/signature-sdk-js.

2. The Wacom Ink SDK for Signatures for Windows

This is a fast-development SDK for use on Windows PCs only. Its browser subcomponent, SigCaptX, is compatible with Chrome, Firefox and Edge for capturing signatures. The main SDK and the SigCaptX subcomponent must be installed on the end user's PC.

Sample code is available at https://github.com/Wacom-Developer/sdk-for-signature-sigcaptx-windows

All Wacom Signature SDKs can be downloaded at:

3. Sign pro PDF API

This API enables you to invoke Sign pro PDF via a JSON script or to embed positional text tags within the PDF itself. You can download a trial version of the sign pro PDF API here.
