Hi. Is it possible to send a digital signature from a PDF file to Google Sheets? Thanks

By digital signature, do you mean an image of your hand written ink signature?

The answer is that it depends on a lot of different things? Like how was the ink signature applied to the PDF.

But in general, NO, this really isn't feasible with just the standard Acrobat features.

I was thinking an image of the digital signature field that was signed on the PDF.

I remember someone setting up something similar for me a while ago but it sent the image of a signature written with a finger on an ipad. I was wonder if that could be done with the digital signature field.

I suppose sending an image of the entire pdf may work for my requirements.

The thing is, extracting an image of a part of a PDF is only doable from a tool that has that specific capability. It's not something general about PDF. It could be done from the desktop Acrobat Pro with an automation script or a plug-in. Not sure of the protocal on the Google side and if the transfer could be done directly.

On the other hand, a digital signature field can be exported in FDF format, which means it can be submitted. I believe the exported data does include the image. However, there is no way that this data could be automatically transfered to google sheets. There would need to be an intermediate tool that parses the FDF data and converts the image part into the fomat needed for transfer to the google sheet.

I don't see how that can work.
