About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a setup feature in WPS Office Smart Forms on Windows for voting scenarios. It lets you configure and manage a signature item while editing a form.

Core tasks include:

Open the Handwritten Signature entry: go to the signature settings from the Voting module in the form editor.
Set and confirm signature options: adjust the available settings in the pop-up panel, preview the result, and save it.

This feature fits scenarios where a form or voting flow needs an added signature confirmation step, such as acknowledgment collection, process records, and response tracking.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Smart Forms editor on Windows, you can open Handwritten Signature from the Voting module and complete setup, preview, and save actions.	Official Microsoft Forms Q&A states that Microsoft Forms does not currently provide a built-in electronic signature feature.	Official Google help documents eSignature in Google Docs and Drive PDFs, but it does not describe a native signature field in Google Forms.	Official Notion Forms help explains form building, question types, and database-connected responses, but it does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Adobe Acrobat supports adding signature fields to PDF forms and signing those forms.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can configure a handwritten signature directly during form editing instead of switching to a separate PDF signing workflow.	Compared with WPS: the native Forms workflow does not include a built-in signature field.	Compared with WPS: official eSignature guidance focuses on Docs and PDF signing rather than a native Forms field.	Compared with WPS: native Forms focuses on database-backed collection and form logic, and the official page does not describe signature input.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF form signing, so the workflow focus differs when you need a signature item during form editing.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to add signature setup directly while editing a form, WPS is closer to that Smart Forms workflow. The official materials for Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, and Notion Forms do not describe the same kind of native signature field, while Adobe is more focused on PDF form signing.
