SigIgnoreExistingAppearance Property

Tells the class to discard any existing widget parameters when signing empty signature properties.

Syntax

 pdfsigner.getSigIgnoreExistingAppearance([callback])
 pdfsigner.setSigIgnoreExistingAppearance( sigIgnoreExistingAppearance, [callback])

Default Value

FALSE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getSigIgnoreExistingAppearance([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setSigIgnoreExistingAppearance([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Tells the component to discard any existing widget parameters when signing empty signature fields.

IgnoreExistingAppearance only makes sense for signatures created by signing existing empty signature properties with pre-defined widget descriptions.

This property is not available at design time.
