Create signature field, if it does not exist
First in this section you have to decide whether to select this option or not.
In the first part of this section you can select between no visible, static visible and dynamic visible PDF signature.
· Not selected: If you haven't selected this option these cases must be distinguished:
- Within the PDF file that is to be signed, one or several visible signature fields were already created. In this case the texts and image configured on the PDF tab are inserted in one of the fields. If only one visible signature field is contained it is automatically used in the signing process. If several visible signature fields exist you are prompted during the signing process to select one of the fields.
- Within the PDF file that is to be signed, several visible signature fields were already created, however all of these already contain visible signatures. In this case an invisible signature is inserted.
- Within the PDF file that is to be signed, no visible signature field was created. In this case an invisible signature is inserted.
· Selected: If this option is selected a visible signature field is created if no other visible signature field has been created before or if all visible signature fields are already used.
In the following fields you can set how and where the visible signature field is created. You have to enter the entire size as rectangle and the proportions of size between text and image if you want to add text and image. The size of the selected image is automatically adjusted to the available space, while the proportions of the rectangle are kept. The examples in the following figure show these proportions. Details of the settings are described in the following section.

The dotted lines in the above figure are only inserted for exemplification. The dialog offers the following settings:
· Page: Determine whether the display is placed on the first or last page of the document.
· Width: Determine the width of the visible signee information.
· Height: Determine which height the visible signee information should have.
· Position: Determine the position of the visible signee information on the document page. Hold the red frame with the mouse and drag it to the position where you want to display the information. This option only takes effect, if you have selected the "static, visible PDF signature" option in the above dialog section.
