Hello,  I have one unsolved business issue

There are some amount of Agreements (pdf format). There are places for signing (it may differs even within same type of Agreements depends on above filled values).

These docs are hundreds.

I have automatically to find SIGN place and insert there some value.

What kind of server tool (may be desktop tool) have I to use?

So it must go below the words? This is possible. This could be done on a workstation using Acrobat JavaScript.

But this is not for server use, and there is no server implementation.

Adobe's PDF Library, licensed by DataLogics, gives a C++ interface to PDF editing. This is much more complex and requires good knowledge of the PDF internal format, ISO 32000-1 (1000 page document).

I believe this covers all the possibilities with Adobe software. There are other PDF libraries which may be easier but they are outside the discussion of the Adobe forum. Check the library supports Cyrillic, many are Latin1 only.

Would it work to say:

I find the words DIGITAL then SIGN next in the document.

I ASSUME there is a dash next to it.

I DO NOT KNOW the size of the dash.

I add a number in the space I GUESS is there?

If so this is possible. If you need to know anything about the dashed line, it is not possible. Worth checking whether the words DIGITAL SIGN appear anywhere else in any document, for example in instructions.

Yes, you are right, I think this is possible
For example
* this a middle of third page 2019-03-07_1514
* this is a bottom of first page 2019-03-07_1516
hence we have some constant markers

But what kind of server soft has to be used to solve these SEARCH, PROPER INSERT operations?

Ok, a human needs to find the boxes and add the digital number. Unless I miss something.

How, as a human, would you find these places to sign, exactly? Maybe from your description we will see a way you can program it, which does not currently does not even seem difficult, but impossible.

There is constant prefix, like this
DIGITAL SIGN................................

We have to insert digital value (like 873562) in the ............................... area
So we have some marker to find place

I can’t see any reasonable prospect if solving this surge required accuracy. A human needs to do this.

а small clarification - the sign has to be just digital number,  not manual sign
