Researching implementing an E-Signature API to send out contracts for signature. I need to identify where the signature line is on the report (or other fields for selection if asking unanswered questions still). Is there a way to identify in code the actual X,Y of a control in the report based on its print preview (fields can grow and shrink, etc).

Hello,
It is not possible to identify in code the actual X,Y of a control in the report. However, could you please share the type of Report that you are using. Also, as per my understanding, you want to know the location of only one blank TextBox in the whole report.
Please confrim.
Thanks.

I use SectionReports. My first and primary goal is to identify where on the page the signature line landed in the PDF export. A secondary objective in the near future may be the need to identify additional fields to allow text to be typed on in the 3rd party E-signature API.

Hello,
It is not possible to find the location of the signature line in the export PDF Document. However, you can add the line/text/Image on the report at any point ar the runtime. Please refer to the following documentation link:
