Delete Signatures of the certain type Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature provides overloaded delete method that accepts one SignatureType or list of them. This method writes the changed document to the file path or stream that you pass to it. To change the source document itself, pass the same path that you passed to the Signature constructor.

Here are the steps to delete signature by specific type from the document with GroupDocs.Signature:

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path or its stream as a constructor parameter;
• Call Signature object delete method and pass certain SignatureType enumeration to it.

This example shows how to delete QR-Code signatures from the document.

Signature signature = new Signature("signed.pdf");
{
	// deleting QR-Code signatures from the document
	DeleteResult result = signature.delete("signed_out.pdf", SignatureType.QrCode);
	if (result.getSucceeded().size() > 0)
	{
		System.out.print("Following QR-Code signatures were deleted:");
		int number = 1;
		for (BaseSignature temp : result.getSucceeded())
		{
			System.out.print("Signature #"+number++ +": Type: "+temp.getSignatureType()+" Id:"+temp.getSignatureId()+", Text: "+((QrCodeSignature)temp).getText());
		}
	}
	else
	{
		System.out.print("No one QR-Code signature was deleted.");
	}
}
