Capability Summary	Provides a Handwritten Signature entry inside the File Collection module of smart forms, so you can open the setting panel, adjust parameters, and preview the result during form creation.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure handwritten-signature-related settings while building a form, WPS keeps that work close to the File Collection flow. If you need a more dedicated public signing workflow with published signature fields, Adobe Acrobat Sign offers broader official guidance for that scenario.
