Status: NEW

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, task)

Description

[Calixte Denizet (:calixte)]

Description:
We are adding support for adding signatures in PDFs.

How do we test this?
Open any PDF, use the buttons from the toolbar.
A dialog should open asking for either a typed signature using a cursive font, or drawing a signature, or use an image.

When will this ship? Firefox 137 (tentatively)
Tracking bug/issue: bug 1942341

The accessibility team has developed the Mozilla Accessibility Release Guidelines which outline what is needed to make user interfaces accessible:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility/Guidelines
Please describe the accessibility guidelines you considered and what steps you've taken to address them:
We are taking them into account while working on the feature.

Describe any areas of concern to which you want the accessibility team to give special attention:
For now the signature is added at the center of the page and then it's up to the user to move it at the right place in using its mouse or keyboard. It's up to the user to resize it in order to fit the signature area.
For people having visual impairment, it can be hard to deal with this final step.
