Signature in QMS 8.0 Signature Page

Question

Hello, 
 I have a question regarding Signature Page in M-Files QMS 8.0. 
 When a document is approved in QMS, it is converted to PDF using PDF Processor, and it adds a signature page, with Reviewer and Approval electronic signature. 
 In that page, there is a M-Files generated signature that looks like a real signature. 
 My questions is: Is there a way to use a real signature there (imported)? I tried to search where the signature is generated, in order to try to add the related signature (image file) of the employee instead of the generated one, but no luck. 
 Did someone did this change and willing to share, how they did it? 
 Kind Regards, 
 Radu

1) I mean fixed amount of signers per document e.g. one reviewer and one approver. The position is fixed per "role", not per person meaning that the reviewers signature will always be in set position and approvers in another. What you cannot do with this is having 3 signers in one document and 2 in another. It doesnt matter who the signers are. 
 The way you need to do this is pretty much how you described it. You need to attach the relationship to the signature file (e.g. new property "Link To Signature Image") to the employee record. Then you create and add overlay(s) of class "Dynamic Image" and have the reference tree as "%PROPERTY_{PD.AliasOfReviewer}.PROPERTY{PD.AliasOfLinkToSignatureImage}%"

There are two possibilities here: 
 
 If there is a fixed amount of signers, you should be able to do this with Dynamic Image overlay on the PDF Rendition ( link to documentation , chapter 5.3.3 )
 
 The issue here is that the locations of the images are fixed, but for should work for fixed amount of signers

If there is a dynamic amount of signers, it gets more complicated. The biggest issue there is that the XSLT-conversion doesnt have access to files in the vault. You would need to copy the necessary files to server temp-folder for the conversion to have access to them by some application code logic.
