Hi,
I am trying to evaluate aspose for one of our requirements. I tried downloading the aspose pdf java jar 24.9 version from the website. Also we got temporary license which I don’t know how to set it yet. I tried using the jar and I am looking for answers for following questions.
- We use complicated tagged PDF’s as part of our app which needs to be accessible. How can I search for a tagname in a tagged pdf and add a signature form field to this tag name and associate it inside a form tag. I tried searching code for this in website but was unable to find it. Can I get a working sample for this req.
- Can I use aspose java to add tags for checkboxes, radio buttons, drop downs and make them accessible? And can these be associated in a form tags just like in my first question.
Also FYI - As part of my trial and error for first question, I tried searching for a text in the PDF and replace it with a signature field. I was able to do this successfully. However I was unable to find code for adding this signature field inside a tag.
Please let me know if you want me to attach a sample code that I tried.

Please check below documentation article to set the license while using the API:
For the rest of your requirements and regarding searching for a tag and signature by tag, we have created a ticket as PDFJAVA-44688 in our issue tracking system as we need to investigate it. Can you please provide an example of a document and an example of a signature that needs to be signed?
Since we need to create several examples, test them and we can’t understand what error you are actually talking about. We need to understand what exactly you are doing to know what needs to be fixed.
Hi Ali,
Thanks for the reply.
Basically I am trying to associate a signature field to be placed inside a form tag. We are currently using .NET library and it is placing the signature field inside the form. We want to try this using java library like aspose.
The sample that I tried is as follows. Here XXX.#001 is the text I am trying to replace with signature field. This text is inside a tag named Signature1. Is it possible for us to associate the signature field added in below code to be associated with form tag. We need this because of accessibility requirements.
//Load the doc
Document document = new Document(“some-path”);
String targetText = “XXX.#001”;
//start
TaggedContent taggedContent = (TaggedContent) document.getTaggedContent();
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber(targetText);
document.getPages().accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
for (TextFragment textFragment : textFragmentAbsorber.getTextFragments()) {
Rectangle rect = textFragment.getRectangle();
textFragment.setText("Signature1");
SignatureField signatureField = new SignatureField(document.getPages().get_Item(1), rect);
signatureField.setPartialName("Signature1");
document.getForm().add(signatureField);
log.info("Replaced text with a signature field.");
}
document.save("some-path");

As requested earlier, would you kindly also share the sample source and expected output PDF for our reference as well. We need this information to properly investigate this case and provide a solution for your requirements.
Hi,
Sorry I cannot attach the pdf. However I can share the expected output that we are looking. This is the expected out that we are looking to achieve with aspose which we were able to do with the .Net library.

Hi,
Just wanted to see if there is any update. FYI - I tried asking chatGPT for a way to associate a signature field to a form tag. It gave me a code, but that code is not getting compiled due to incorrect classes that it is suggesting and the aspose version I am using. Not sure if this is accurate or not, just want to inform you.
