Frequently asked questions
Is this legally valid as a signature?
This is a visual signature, handy for internal approvals, applications, vendor confirmations. It is NOT a qualified electronic signature (QES) under eIDAS. For contracts with formal legal effect you'll need a notary or a QES service like DigiD-Machtigen, Itsme, or DocuSign Advanced.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. pdfjs-dist renders pages locally to canvas, pdf-lib builds the signed output locally too. No server, no log. Open the Network tab during use, you'll only see the pdf.js worker script load.
My JPG signature has an ugly white edge.
Slide the 'background threshold' lower. That makes fewer pixels transparent, only the truly white edges go. Better results: photo of signature on white paper, then run it through 'Remove background' (another Plainjar tool) for the cleanest result.
What does the metadata strip do to the output?
The ported stripPdfMetadata util removes Author/Title/Creator/Producer/CreationDate/ModDate from the output file. The recipient can't read which software you used or when you signed, except via the visual date stamp you optionally add yourself.
