sign-pdf

This application allows you to sign PDF documents with an image of your signature. I found this problem when I needed to sign a pdf document. Online tools needed subscription. So, I decided to make a simple tool to sign pdf using python.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have conda installed on your system.

Installation

1. Create a Conda Environment

   conda create --name sign-pdf python=3.8

2. Activate the Environment

   conda activate sign-pdf

3. Install Dependencies

   Make sure you have a requirements.txt file in the root directory of your project. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To sign a PDF, run the following command:

python app.py --pdf path/to/your_pdf.pdf --sign path/to/your_sign(.jpg/.png) --output path/to/your_signed_pdf.pdf

Command Line Arguments

• --pdf: Path to the PDF file that you want to sign.
• --sign: Path to the image file of your signature.
• --output: Path where the signed PDF will be saved.

Example

Here's an example command to sign a PDF:

python app.py --pdf documents/sample.pdf --sign images/signature.png --output signed_documents/signed_sample.pdf

Usage Instructions

After running the application, a window will appear allowing you to draw the rectangular area where the signature will be placed. Follow these steps:

1. Draw the rectangular sign area.
2. Press a to add the signature after each rectangular box drawn.
3. Press s to save the signed PDF.
4. If you need to retry, press r.
   [ P.S. you can skip a pdf page without drawing just by pressing q.] !
