Please find below for the details
- We actually trying to sign the pdf through Groupdocs.Signature, and it is perfectly works
fine. - When i add Groupdocs.WaterMark dll in the same project to add watermark on signed
pdf(through Groupdocs.Signature) then i am getting this issue.
Please note that both GroupDocs.Signatue and Groupdocs.Watermark both work fine in different solution , this issue only occurs when we add both dll in same project
Groupdocs.Signature version : v19.10.0 (downloaded from nuget)
Groupdocs.WaterMark version :v19.11.0 ((downloaded from nuget))

sample code
public static void Run()
{
string filePath = Constants.SAMPLE_PDF;
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(Constants.OutputPath, “SignPdfWithCustomMetadata”, fileName);
using (Signature signature = new Signature(filePath))
{
// setup options with text of signature

};
IDataEncryption encryption = new CustomXOREncryptionAttribute();
// Specify different Metadata Signatures and add them to options signature collection
// for this metadata encryption will be used from class attribute
PdfMetadataSignature mdDocument = new PdfMetadataSignature("DocumentSignature", documentSignature);
// setup Author property
PdfMetadataSignature mdAuthor = new PdfMetadataSignature("Author", "Mr.Scherlock Holmes");
// set encryption
mdAuthor.DataEncryption = encryption;
// setup data of document id
PdfMetadataSignature mdDocId = new PdfMetadataSignature("DocumentId", Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
// set encryption
mdDocId.DataEncryption = encryption;
// add signatures to options
options.Signatures.Add(mdDocument);
options.Signatures.Add(mdAuthor);
options.Signatures.Add(mdDocId);
// sign document to file
signature.Sign(outputFilePath, options);
AddWaterMark();
}
}
public static void AddWaterMark()
{
string filePath = Constants.SAMPLE_PDF;
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine("../../Output/", "AddWaterMark", "image"+fileName);
PdfLoadOptions loadOptions = new PdfLoadOptions();
// Constants.InDocumentPdf is an absolute or relative path to your document. Ex: @"C:\Docs\document.pdf"

Thanks for sharing the details. We are not able to reproduce this issue at our end using code below:
public static void signature()
{
using (Signature signature = new Signature(@"D:\Samples\s.pdf"))
{
TextSignOptions options = new TextSignOptions("John Smith")
{
// set signature position
Left = 100,
Top = 100,
// set signature rectangle
Width = 100,
Height = 30,
Font = new SignatureFont { Size = 12, FamilyName = "Comic Sans MS" }
};
// sign document to file
signature.Sign(@"D:\Samples\sample_signed.pdf", options);
}
AddWaterMark();
}
This is how we are adding watermark:
public static void AddWaterMark()
{
string filePath = @"D:\Samples\sample_signed.pdf";
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(filePath);
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(@"D:\Samples\", "image"+fileName);
GroupDocs.Watermark.Options.Pdf.PdfLoadOptions loadOptions = new GroupDocs.Watermark.Options.Pdf.PdfLoadOptions();
using (Watermarker watermarker = new Watermarker(filePath, loadOptions))
{
// Add text watermark to the first page
GroupDocs.Watermark.Watermarks.TextWatermark textWatermark = new GroupDocs.Watermark.Watermarks.TextWatermark("No need of signature,file is electornically signed", new GroupDocs.Watermark.Watermarks.Font("Arial", 21));
PdfArtifactWatermarkOptions textWatermarkOptions = new PdfArtifactWatermarkOptions();
textWatermarkOptions.PageIndex = 0;
textWatermark.ForegroundColor = Color.Red;
textWatermark.X = 75;
textWatermark.Y = 25;
watermarker.Add(textWatermark, textWatermarkOptions);
watermarker.Save(outputFilePath);
}
}
This is the output (195.9 KB) we got. Can you please test this code at your end. Also, if you can share your sample project (a simple console based application using that issue could be reproduced), we’ll investigate that.
@atirtahir3
Thanks for reply , I am doing my poc by cloning your github project. Let me check once again and will get back to you .
Let me know how you want to share my project .
@atirtahir3

Please share project here (in this same thread). You can remove DLLs in order to reduce project size. Moreover, please don’t add license file in the project.
This issue is reproduced at our end using the provided project. Hence, its been logged in our internal issue tracking system with ID : SIGNATURENET-2471. We are now investigating it. As there is any update, you’ll be notified.
We have an update on SIGNATURENET-2471. Please go to the project properties and mark flag [Auto-generate binding redirects] to unchecked state. See this screenshot.png (8.6 KB). Actually the best way would be to set this flag to false and reinstall packages.
The other way is, if there is no app.config file in the project, it’ll work fine. Please let us know if it works for you.
