Download Java Signature API

For Java and J2SE application developers, the GroupDocs.Signature namespace allows you to remove electronic signatures from a wide range of documents and image file formats. This namespace also includes signature manipulation features to customize sign, search, and verification processes, as well as manage signature colors and appearance.

To access these features, you can download & install Conholdate.Total package from Maven to add directly to your workspace.

Remove Text Signatures from JPEG

Easily remove image or text signatures from digitally signed JPEG files in Java with Conholdate.Total for Java APIs. Customize your signatures by adding different colors, font, padding, and styling options to digital documents.

Instantiate Signature with input (JPEG) document
Instantiate TextSearchOptions object with needed properties
Call Search method and get list of TextSignatures
Select text signatures to remove from (JPEG) document
Call Signature object Delete method and pass sigantures to it

Remote Documents Loading & Signing

The Java eSign library allows you to access documents stored in the cloud through various sources including streaming, local disk, URL, FTP, Amazon S3, and Azure Blob storage.

The document preview feature allows you to view the pages of a document as an image in PNG, JPG, or BMP format. This can be useful for previewing and positioning digital signatures within the document as required. You can choose to preview the entire document or specific page numbers.

Remove Barcode Signatures in JPEG

Barcodes and QR codes are often used in digital documents as a form of identification or to provide additional information about the document. Use our Java signature API to easily remove barcode and QR-code signatures from JPEG files within your Java applications. With just a few lines of code, you can remove multiple digital signatures of various types from signed documents simultaneously.

Instantiate Signature with input (JPEG) document
Instantiate BarcodeSearchOptions object with needed properties
Call Search method and get list of BarcodeSignature
Select barcode signatures to remove from (JPEG) document
Call Signature object Delete method and pass sigantures to it

Extract JPEG File Information

Work with Conholdate documents information extraction API to easily retrieve essential details about the source (JPEG) file, including file type, size, number of pages, and dimensions through a stream or local file.

The Java document signature library also offers seamless digital signature cancellation capabilities, including sign, verify, and search functions to cancel signature processes at any stage.

What is JPEG file format?

JPEG, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, represents a lossy compression algorithm meticulously crafted to minimize the storage size of digital images. Renowned for its widespread usage in still images and graphics, it holds a prominent position on the web and in digital cameras. Operating on the principle of content analysis, JPEG meticulously measures and evaluates the image’s content before proceeding to compress it, thereby reducing the overall file size. The level of compression can be adjusted to cater to the desired image quality. While JPEG compression typically yields images with lower quality, it achieves remarkably small file sizes, rendering it perfect for online photo sharing.

JPEG’s exceptional popularity is primarily attributed to its ability to strike a balance between image quality and file size. By employing lossy compression techniques, JPEG effectively eliminates certain visual information that may not be noticeable to the human eye. This selective discarding of data ensures substantial reduction in file size while preserving the overall visual integrity to an acceptable level. Consequently, JPEG files are compact and highly efficient in terms of storage and transmission, making them ideal for web-based applications where bandwidth and storage limitations are prevalent.

The adjustable nature of JPEG compression further enhances its versatility. Users have the flexibility to determine the trade-off between file size and image quality by adjusting the compression settings. In scenarios where high image fidelity is of paramount importance, a lower compression level can be selected to preserve intricate details and minimize visual artifacts. Conversely, when the emphasis is on minimizing file size without significant loss in perceived quality, a higher compression level can be applied. This adaptability allows users to tailor the JPEG compression to their specific requirements, ensuring an optimal balance between file size and image quality.

It is noteworthy that while JPEG excels in the realm of digital image compression, it may not be the most suitable choice for all scenarios. Due to its lossy nature, repeatedly compressing and decompressing JPEG files can result in a cumulative loss of image quality. Therefore, it is advisable to exercise caution and refrain from excessive re-compression if preserving the highest possible image fidelity is paramount.
