About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a configuration option in Smart Forms questionnaires in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to add a signature step to a form and complete related settings before the form is saved or published.

Core tasks include:

Open the Handwritten Signature settings: enter the signature option from the Questionnaire section in the form editor.
Configure and confirm the signature field: adjust settings in the panel, preview the result, and confirm the change.

This feature is useful for registration confirmation, service acknowledgment, internal records, and other questionnaire scenarios that need a signature field.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Handwritten Signature entry inside Smart Forms questionnaires, so you can open the settings panel and preview the result in the editor.	Microsoft Forms officially supports file upload questions. On the selected official page, a native handwritten signature field is not documented.	Google Forms can add signature capability through an official Google Workspace Marketplace add-on, so signature collection depends on an add-on instead of a native field.	Notion officially supports creating, editing, sharing, and collecting responses with forms, but the official forms help page does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Adobe Acrobat Sign officially supports web forms with signature fields and countersigners for signing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the handwritten signature option is available directly in the questionnaire editing flow. Distinct: setup and preview can be completed in the same editing interface.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow highlighted on the selected page is file upload rather than a native signature field.	Compared with WPS: signature support is available through an add-on, not as a built-in Google Forms field.	Compared with WPS: native forms focus on general data collection, and the official page does not show a signature field.	Compared with WPS: Adobe offers a broader signing workflow with countersigners and public web form signing.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure a handwritten signature field directly while building a questionnaire, WPS keeps the setup closer to the form editing flow. If you need a broader e-sign workflow with countersigners and public signing pages, Adobe Acrobat Sign is a stronger fit for heavier signing scenarios, while Microsoft and Google more often rely on adjacent workflows or add-ons.
