Why is the signature not visible in the generated document?


The signature is missing or not displayed in the final generated document created using a document template.

Possible Cause:

This issue usually occurs when the signature was copied and pasted directly from another document (such as a Word file, email, or PDF), which may lead to improper formatting or rendering errors during document generation in HRStop.

How to Fix It:

Follow these steps to ensure the signature appears correctly:

  1. Do not copy-paste the signature image directly from another source (Word, web, or PDF).
  2. Instead, download or save the signature image file (in PNG or JPG format) directly onto your device/system.
  3. Open your Document Template in HRStop via: Control Panel → Forms and Policies → Document Template
  4. Edit the desired template.
  5. Use the Insert Image option within the editor to upload the saved signature image from your device.
  6. Save the template after inserting the image.

Result:

The signature will now be properly embedded and will appear correctly in all generated documents, whether generated individually or in bulk.

Tip:

For best results:

  • Use a transparent PNG signature file.
  • Keep the signature dimensions optimal (around 300px wide).
  • Ensure the template is saved and re-tested after updating.
