signcap – Setup

System requirements and dependencies

Some of the interfaces described here may require additional drivers to be installed that are not included in the signoAPI. These include Windows tablet PC help files.

The IPadSignotecSignatureDevice interface includes the basic functionality for capturing signatures from signotec signature pads. However, the full range of functionalities can only be achieved with the free signotec signoPAD API. This can be downloaded from the signotec website.

When the signotec setup is used for installation, all other dependencies are set up automatically. The following points must only be observed for manual installation.

This software must be installed to use SignPDF3:

• Visual Studio 2015–2022 Redistributables (available free of charge from Microsoft)

These libraries must exist and be registered in the system with regsvr32:

• signcap.dll

• STPadCapt.ocx (only for the IPadSignotecSignatureDevice interface)
