signotec signoPAD-API (Download)
Description
The signoPAD-API is an extremely powerful interface for integrating the signotec signature pads.
Thus, the API offers a variety of functions to interact with the devices. As an integrator, you can display content (such as images, graphics, text, buttons, etc.) and documents, manage memory, configure standby images, slide shows, and control RSA and signature functionality in the pad.
This variety of functions makes it possible to control simple or very complex contents and workflows via the device. The individual presentation and reaction options for your software offer limitless integration options.
In addition, the signature can be saved in various graphic formats (with or without content of the LCD). Also, the complete biometrics of the signature can be recorded and saved (encrypted).
Hint: If you would like to sign PDF documents with the recorded signature electronically, you will also need our "signoAPI".
.

Hello, we already use the pad in the twain mode and it works well. Is it possible, always using twain mode, also display a static image/text? Maybe with an external procedure and then keep using twain mode? Or we'll have to use the SDK in this case? TIA
Hello,
Unfortunately there can be no changes in the pad settings using TWAIN/WIA. You would have to use the SDK in normal mode.

Control of signed documents

Is it possible to know the number of signed documents?
Dear Customer,
Unfortunately such a function is not possible, because it is a hardware based API which does not record the amount of operations. You would have to count the amount of documents signed on your own accord.
Linux library libstpadlib.so
Hi,
May I know if the file libSTPadLib.so file still available or it had been replace with another library file?
I had installed the signoPAD-API (Device API) package but the library wasn't in it.
Can you advise where can I download the libSTPadlib.so?
Thank you
Hi, yes, the lib is still available of course.
You will get a separate e-Mail with the download link.

Hello,
The signoPAD-API can not be used to integrate an electronic signature, captured by Windows touchscreens into your own software. However, our software solutions signoSign/2, Adobe Acrobat Plug-In and signoSign/Universal can be used to sign with a Tablet-PC or Wind

Can i link it with oracle and put signature in rdf file
Thanks
Hello, you can save the signature in each data base of course. This question is more related to the data base programming and not to our API.

Dear all,
Where can I find header files or sample code for Delphi? I see in your description that this support Delphi but I installed the package and there is no delphi code.
That's not fair.
The 32-Bit version of the signoPAD-API includes a source code example for Delphi as well.

We want to develope a Xamarin application that requires to sign PDF documents with the biometrics data and without internet connection.
Is possible integrate your API in our solution to meet the requirements?
Thanks
Hi,
yes, we have such an SDK. It is the signoAPI which can be used with Xamarin. We will contact you via e-mail.

Hello, the signoPAD-API is for the communication/interaction with the signature pad. If you would like to sign a PDF document a different SDK is needed: The signoAPI. This is not free of charge. If you want a out of the box solution we recommend signoSign/2.
Web-based Application
Good day team, I'd like to know if this works in a Web-based application, I have a .Net Core 2.0 MVC application here, I want to know if I can use it. Thanks
The signoPAD-API consists of local components only. For web-based integration of signature pads, please take a look at our “WebSocket Pad Server”. This interface allows you to integrate signature pads via WebSocket protocol.
Thickness of the signature
Hi, can I change the thickness of the signature lines?
Please refer to the signoPAD-API documentation and search for penWidth. You can choose between a fix width in pixel or dynamic width depending on the pressure.
Save Sign as Image
Hi,
We would like to use your device, with C#.
My question is: Can we get the sign as image? I mean, we would like to display the sign eg. on a printed document.
Thank you,

Hi, of course this is possible. With the signoPAD-API you can control the signature pad (display images, texts etc.) and also capture the signature in different variants and formats, (e.g. JPG,PNG,BMP, TIFF). Also, the API includes a demo application with source code fo
How to combine api with vb.net code
Hi, I am new to the Signotec pad and vb.net but I want to import this sign pad api into my window application ( made by vb.net). Any idea for me to process next step?
Hi Levi,
if you download the API, it will include an extensive documentation and source code examples .You will also find an example for VB.NET there.

Hi, you make some basic faults. First of all, we don't know which lib you are using, but I guess STPadLibNet.dll. If you check the documentation you will see that the definition is:

Hi Andrej, the signoPAD-API is available for Windows and as Native Java version. We do not have a Mac OSX version. For further explanations, please contact our support.
Signature Verification using existing templates
I have a signature templates for each user, 3 for each user stored in my database and i need a system to read from scanned image and compare it with those templates, does your software help me with this ?
For such a purpose you need our Biometric API. This is able to compare scanned signature images (min. 200 dpi and losless compression) and dynamic signatures from our signature pads. Please contact info@signotec.de for more information.
Disabling cropping
The omega tablet always crops the top and bottom of the signature area white space. Is there any way to get the white space preserved like the 0x0008 bitmask does for the SignatureSaveAsStreamEx method, or do I need to capture the whole image and do my own cropping to a
First you have to create an empty bitmap of 640 x 480 pixels for example. Then you call the SignatureSaveAsStreamEx method to get the completely cropped image from the signature and copy this image to the desired location of the empty bitmap. The reason behind is the as
Biometric Data
Hi, we are already able to capture encrypted signatures with the JAVA api, but after the decryption process we have only a binary raw data:
XMLbiometricData.getBiometric()
How can we convert this raw data to ISO-19794-7 format or something processable like (x,y,p,t).?
Regards
Hi, we have a library which converts the binary data into the ISO-19794-7 Format. Please contact us via info@signotec.de
is this API free
Hi
we are looking for Omega pads, let us know if this API is free
Yes, this API is free of charge. You can integrate it and distribute it without any costs. Updateds and new versions comes for free as well.
