|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Handwritten Signature setup entry inside a relay form workflow, with editing, setting adjustment, and preview before confirmation. | Word lets users insert a scanned handwritten signature image and add a signature line, mainly for document signing display. | Google Docs lets users draw a signature with Drawing and Scribble tools, mainly for manually placing a signature graphic in a document. | Notion Forms supports form creation and question setup, but the official page does not describe a native handwritten signature field. | Acrobat Reader lets users type, draw, or import a signature image in PDFs, mainly for PDF filling and signing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: It fits a form-creation workflow by letting you configure a signature item and preview it before publishing. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on signature images or signature lines in documents, not a relay form setup flow. | Compared with WPS: It mainly relies on a drawing tool instead of a dedicated form signature field. | Compared with WPS: Its official form documentation focuses on questions and database-linked responses rather than a native handwritten signature field. | Compared with WPS: It is more focused on signing PDF files than configuring a signature item in a form workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to set up a signature item inside a relay form and review the display before publishing, WPS is closer to a form-building workflow. Microsoft, Google, and Adobe all provide signature-related features, but they are more document- or PDF-oriented, while Notion’s official form page does not show a native handwritten signature field.
