About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a configuration feature in WPS Forms on macOS. It is used in the voting scenario to add and adjust handwritten signature settings, so a form can include a signature step when collecting confirmations or responses.

Core tasks include:

Open the handwritten signature settings entry in the form editor.
Complete the handwritten signature setup by adjusting settings, previewing the result, and confirming the change.

This feature is suitable for vote confirmation, form collection that needs a signature step, and pre-publish checks before a form goes live.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS Forms, you can open the Handwritten Signature option from the Voting module and complete setup, preview, and confirmation in the editing flow.	Microsoft Forms official Q&A states that it does not currently provide a built-in electronic signature feature.	Google Forms official documentation describes editor extensions and supported form elements, but it does not document a native respondent signature field.	Notion Forms official help covers question setup, sharing, and automation, but it does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports web forms and lets authors add signature fields before publishing the form.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The handwritten signature setup is handled directly inside the form editing flow for the voting scenario, which keeps configuration steps in one place.	Compared with WPS: No built-in signature field is documented, so signature collection usually depends on workarounds or other services.	Compared with WPS: Google documents editor extensibility, but not a native signature input field for respondents in Google Forms.	Compared with WPS: Notion connects forms closely with databases, but the official form help does not describe a native signature field.	Compared with WPS: Adobe provides a more complete signing workflow for formal e-signature use cases, while WPS is more focused on lightweight setup inside form editing.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure a handwritten signature step inside a WPS Forms voting workflow, WPS keeps the entry point and setup path more focused. If you need a broader public web form signing workflow with dedicated signature fields, Adobe Acrobat Sign offers a more complete signing process.
