Signing

In order to verify reports, PDF reports can be signed in TwinCAT Reporting. Digital and handwritten signatures are supported. The wizard for configuring signatures can be opened in the following ways.

The wizard offers the possibility to create multiple signature configurations, which can then be reused in multiple report configurations.

You can use the two checkboxes to select whether the configured signatures displayed on the next pages should be used.
By clicking the button Next you can edit the selected configuration.
