eSign Spreadsheet with Metadata signature Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Signature provides SpreadsheetMetadataSignature class to specify different Metadata signature objects for MetadataSignOptions instance to sign Spreadsheet document files. Spreadsheet document metadata is hidden attributes, some of them are visible only over viewing standard document properties like Author, Creation Date, Producer, Entry, Keywords etc.
Spreadsheet document metadata contains pair of Name and Value, Name should be unique within the document.
Spreadsheet document metadata could keep big amount of data that allows provides ability to keep serialized custom objects with additional encryption in there.

• Create new instance of Signature class and pass source document path as a constructor parameter.
• Instantiate the MetadataSignOptions object according to your requirements.
• Instantiate one or several SpreadsheetMetadataSignature objects and add them to the signatures collection of MetadataSignOptions with the append or add_range method.
• Call Sign method of Signature class instance and pass MetadataSignOptions to it.

This example shows how to add Metadata e-signature to a Spreadsheet document.

from datetime import datetime

from groupdocs.signature import Signature
from groupdocs.signature.options import MetadataSignOptions
from groupdocs.signature.domain import SpreadsheetMetadataSignature


def sign_xlsx():
    with Signature("sample.xlsx") as signature:
        options = MetadataSignOptions()

        # Create a few Spreadsheet Metadata signatures
        signatures = [
            SpreadsheetMetadataSignature("Author", "Mr.Scherlock Holmes"),
            SpreadsheetMetadataSignature("DateCreated", datetime.now()),
            SpreadsheetMetadataSignature("DocumentId", 123456),
            SpreadsheetMetadataSignature("SignatureId", 123.456),
        ]

        # Add them to the options
        options.signatures.add_range(signatures)

        # Sign the spreadsheet and save the result
        result = signature.sign("signed.xlsx", options)
        print(f"Signed with {len(result.succeeded)} metadata signature(s):")
        for item in result.succeeded:
            print(f"  {item.name}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    sign_xlsx()
