Hello all,

Hopefully someone can answer my question here.
I have been tasked with a eletronic signature type small web app. My goal is to present the user with a PDF that has thier information filled into in dynamically and then have them eletronically sign it by clicking a radio button that they agree and then submitting. Can PDFsharp take a PDF template and populate a few fields within that template and then present that newly created PDF to the browser?
If it can are there any samples of code to do that? I looked through the samples and didnt really see anything as simple as this.

thanks in advance

You can take a PDF template and draw text over it - at positions known to your application.
This is simple, but not maintenance friendly (if the template is re-designed and fields move around).

You can create the whole form with MigraDoc (maybe using a PDF template for the company letterhead only).
Would allow the "form fields" to grow with user input (allows multi-line texts with variable height).

Depends a bit on the relation of user input vs. static text.
