Request: Add date
GregorySchwartz opened this issue · comments
Most forms that require a signature also require the associated date. It would be nice to add a feature to add not only a signature, but also text or at least the date.
I agree that dating would be useful, but I don't want such a feature to complicate the interface too much. If you are willing to provide ideas, feedback and critique on the design, then perhaps we can work out a good design together. I'd like the design to fulfill at least the following:
- Good defaults and easy to configure
- Easy to do just signature, or just date/text, or both
- Easy interfaces, both CLI and GUI.
Starter problem: Right now you can simply click in the GUI to position the signature. How could this feature be added without making that less intuitive?
I can't promise to work on this in a timely manner even given the design, but it's safe to say I won't without it!
Also, if it's a PDF form you can fill out the form including the date and save it, then sign.
The interface used by Adobe Reader to do Fill and Sign is pretty good. You could take inspiration from there :-) The main Fill and Sign controls are basically:
- Signature
- Initials
- Text (which includes useful options for Checkmark and Crossmark)
I would love to have a native Linux app that can do all this. At the moment I have to fire up a Windows VM every time.
