About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a configuration option in the Survey area of the Smart Forms editor in WPS for Mac. It lets form creators add a signature question, adjust related settings, preview the result, and then save or confirm the setup so the question appears as expected in the form.

This feature fits confirmation forms, registration forms, and other collection workflows that need a signer’s acknowledgment inside the same survey. For teams that want to collect form data and a signature in one editing flow, Handwritten Signature keeps the setup in the same form-building process.

Capability Summary	Provides a Handwritten Signature entry in the Smart Forms Survey area, where you can open the editor, adjust settings, preview the result, and save the configuration.	Microsoft Forms officially supports file upload questions with limits for file count, size, and type; the official support page does not describe a native signature question.	Google Forms officially highlights multiple question types, customization, logic, and analysis; the official product page does not describe a native signature field.	Notion Forms can create, share, and customize forms connected to databases; the official help page does not describe a native signature field.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: lets you configure a signature question directly inside the survey editing flow and check the result with preview before saving.	Compared with WPS: supports adjacent collection through file upload, but the official documentation does not show a native signature question.	Compared with WPS: focuses on general form creation and analysis, so signature collection usually needs an additional method.	Compared with WPS: works well for database-connected forms, but the official help page does not show a native signature field.	Compared with WPS: offers a fuller signing workflow, but it is more oriented to formal e-sign and agreement routing scenarios.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to add a signature question during survey editing and complete the basic setup in one place, WPS is closer to a form-building workflow. If you need a broader signing process with participant routing and signature-field management, Adobe Acrobat Sign provides a more complete signing workflow, while the official Microsoft, Google, and Notion pages focus more on general-purpose form features.
