To start eSignatureOffice from another application you must call up the file "SOSigOffice.exe". You can transfer different parameters to this file when calling it up, the order of the Parameter doesn´t matter.
...
If you don’t know in which directory eSignatureOffice is located, you can find the save location with the following registry entry:
...
| Parameter | Values | Info |
|---|---|---|
-fff=<file> *.fff (Form Field Filler File) | local path or url | Such a file contains the names of the form fields of a PDF file that are to be filled in, as well as their value or text. During start-up, eSignatureOffice automatically fills in the PDF’s form fields and shows the filled-out PDF file. Specifying a *.fff-file only makes sense in connection with specifying the corresponding PDF file. This *.fff-file is constructed like an INI file and consists of field name = field content, the "header" is called fields. You can get more Infos about the FFF file here. |
-sss=<file> *.sss (StepOver Signature Set File) | local path or url | If a StepOver signature set is transferred, it is activated as soon as the user switches to signature mode. This means that he/she can first look at the document in peace and start signing after switching to signature mode. You can get more Infos about the SSS file here. |
-ret=<file> *.ret (return file) | local path | (only in connection with the specification of a signature set file) If you would like to know which signature fields the user has filled out, or whether he/she has cancelled the signature process, you can specify the path to a *.ret file as a further parameter. This is newly created by eSignatureOffice . eSignatureOffice enters here which signature fields have been signed. A *.ret file is constructed like a INI file. You can read more about the RET file here. |
-autostartsig | (only in connection with the specification of a signature set file). If you wish the user to access signature mode automatically after starting eSignatureOffice and immediately be able to start signing, you must deliver the additional parameter "autostartsig". No use of signature group | |
| -autostartsig= | group name | (only in connection with the specification of a signature set file). If you wish the user to access signature mode automatically after starting eSignatureOffice and immediately be able to start signing, you must deliver the additional parameter "autostartsig". The signature group with the name "group name" is used, if white space are present in the name, surround with double-quotes f.e. -autostartsig="Group Name" |
-autostartpdf | If you wish the user to access the PDF form mode automatically after starting eSignatureOffice and thus be able to start filling in form fields immediately, you must deliver the additional parameter "autostartpdf". The parameter "autostartpdf" disables some Buttons like Viewmode and Administration. | |
| -autostartformfill | only activates form fill mode, without disabling other functionality (other than "autostartpdf" Parameter") | |
| -autostartmacroX | automatic start of macro (sample -autostartmacro1 .... -autostartmacro10) | |

| -password=<password> | If access to eSignatureOffice (optional "safety feature") is password-protected, then this can be delivered within the frame of an automated signature procedure with a command line. | |

Capitalisation or use of small letters as well as the sequence in which you deliver the parameters is not important. eSignatureOffice will allocate them accordingly. Some functions/settings of the explained starting parameters can also be found under the Administration (or Startmanager.exe). However, it is essential to work with start parameters if eSignatureOffice is started from different applications and is to display different features.
