Frequently asked questions

What are the system requirements for integrating the electronic signatures SDK into a web application?

Electronic signatures have the same requirements as our web viewer. Any modern browser and web server are all that’s required to integrate Nutrient into a web application. There’s no dependency on frameworks such as React, Next, or Angular. For more information, refer to our Nutrient Web SDK browser support guide.

What customization options are available in the Electronic Signatures SDK for the signature UX/UI and workflows?

The electronic signature UI provides the ability to:

  • Show tabs to draw a signature, type a signature, or upload a signature image
  • Change the font of a typed signature
  • Change the color of the text of a drawn signature
  • Change the title of a signature dialog
  • Show a narrow or wide version of the signature dialog
  • Store signatures when signing multiple times

Can the Electronic Signatures SDK handle multiple signature types, such as drawn, image-based, and typed signatures?

The Electronic Signatures SDK has the ability to show tabs for a drawn signature, a typed signature, or uploading a signature image.

Does the Electronic Signatures SDK support certificate-based digital signatures?

Electronic and digital signatures are two types of signatures available in our Web SDK. Though the terms are often used interchangeably, they have different use cases. See the following in our introduction to signatures guide for an explanation of each:

Electronic signatures are visual representations of a person’s signature, resembling how a signature would appear on a printed version of a document. Users can sign via a fingertip, stylus, or mouse; upload an image of a signature; or type a signature in one of the provided styles.

Digital signatures are secure, certificate-based identifiers that can be invisible or have visual representations in documents.
