This tutorial provides details on how to insert signature in PowerPoint using Python. It contains the reference to the required resources for establishing the environment, a list of steps to perform the task, and a runnable sample code to add digital signature to PowerPoint using Python. You will also learn the signature properties that can be modified before adding it to the presentation and saving it as a PPTX.
Steps to Insert Digital Signature in PowerPoint using Python
- Establish the environment to use Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET to sign a presentation
- Instantiate the DigitalSignature class object using the PFX file along with the password
- Set the comments for the digital signature
- Load or create the presentation using the Presentation class object for adding signature
- Add the newly created digital signature to the collection of signatures in the loaded presentation
- Save the updated presentation having a digital signature
These steps explain how to put signature in PowerPoint using Python by highlighting the important resources, classes, methods and properties that need to be utilized while writing this application. First, you need to instantiate the DigitalSignature class object by providing the path to the PFX certificate file and the password along with setting the comments in the signature. In the final step, this signature is added to the default collection of digital signatures, and the resultant file is saved on the disk.
Code to Insert Signature in PowerPoint using Python
This code demonstrates how to add signature in PowerPoint using Python by using the Presentation class object to create a new presentation and then using the digital_signatures collection object to add new signature. The DigitalSignature class contains the ‘comments’ property that can be set for the newly created digital signature if required. Note that currently only PPTX supports adding a digital signature and if you try to add it to a PPT, it does not have any effect on it.
