About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a configuration option in the Smart Form check-in module of WPS Office on Windows. It is used to set up and manage handwritten signature collection in forms for sign-in, confirmation, and record-keeping scenarios.

Its main tasks include:

Open the Handwritten Signature entry from the check-in module.
Configure signature-related settings in the panel.
Preview the signature effect before saving.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Smart Form supports a Handwritten Signature option in the check-in workflow, covering entry access, parameter setup, preview, and save steps inside the form editing process.	Microsoft Forms does not provide a native digital signature capability by itself and points users to workaround flows with other Microsoft services.	Google Forms does not offer a native electronic signature feature and commonly relies on add-ons from Google Workspace Marketplace.	Notion Forms supports form creation, question setup, sharing, and response management, but its official help page does not describe a native signature field.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms support signable web forms with signature fields and signer flow configuration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The handwritten signature setup is placed directly in the Smart Form check-in workflow, so setup and preview can be completed in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Native forms do not include a direct signature field, so extra workflow setup is usually needed.	Compared with WPS: Signature collection depends on add-ons instead of being a default form capability.	Compared with WPS: The official form feature set focuses on information collection and database-linked workflows rather than a native signature field.	Compared with WPS: Adobe provides a broader signing workflow, but it is more oriented to formal e-signature processes than lightweight form editing.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add signature collection inside a Smart Form check-in workflow, WPS keeps the setup closer to the form editing process. If your priority is a more formal signing workflow with signer routing and broader signature controls, Adobe Acrobat Sign offers a more specialized web form path, while Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, and Notion Forms have more limits in native signature support.
