Is there a way to add electronic signature fields into a PDF generated from a report using RDLC?

I am creating documents that need to be signed using Visual Studio and RDLC. Is there a way to add electronic signature fields into the generated PDF files programatically?

Depends on what you have available at your disposal resource wise.   If you have Acrobat then yes, you could do this via JavaScript.  Here is a modified sample JavaScript from the Acrobat SDK to demonstrate how you might do it from the JavaScript Console.

var name = "mySignature";

var type = "signature";

var page = 0;

var location = [100, 472, 172, 400];

var myField = this.addField(name, type, page, location);

Now, "How are you going execute the sample script?" is the question.  

• You can do this directly in Acrobat's JavaScript Console.
• You can do this in an Action
• You can do this as a button in the Add-Ons tool section of the Tools pane.
• You can do this via IAC using the JSObject.

You may want to ask any further questions in the Acrobat SDK Forum.
