Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Smart Forms editor, you can open Handwritten Signature from the Form module, configure settings, preview the result, and confirm the field setup.	Word supports inserting a scanned handwritten signature image and adding a signature line, which is mainly document-oriented.	Google Docs eSignature supports signature fields and lets signers draw signatures, but availability depends on eligible Workspace plans.	Notion Forms can create and manage form questions connected to databases, but the official page does not state a native handwritten signature field.	Acrobat Reader lets users type, draw, or import a handwritten signature image in PDFs for signing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry point is part of the form editing workflow, which is convenient for configuring a signature field directly in a form. Distinct: You can review the preview result before confirming the setup.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on inserting a signature image or signature line in a document instead of configuring a form field.	Compared with WPS: It offers a broader eSignature request workflow, but official guidance shows that availability depends on eligible Workspace plans.	Compared with WPS: It is flexible for form building, but the official help page does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Compared with WPS: It is more focused on PDF signing than on editing a signature field inside a smart form builder.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Handwritten Signature is a practical fit when you want to configure a signature field directly during Smart Forms editing. If your main task is document signing or PDF signing, Microsoft, Google, and Adobe provide related workflows, while Notion is more focused on general form collection and database-connected responses.
