I am working on some code in excel vba and trying to open a word document, then add a signature to the bottom, sign it, then export it as as pdf. So far here is what I have:

Code:
Sub ExportSignedPDF
    'Open Word Doc 
    Dim WordApp As Word.Application
    Dim WordDoc As Word.Document
    Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open("c:/user/blahblah.docx")
    Dim n As Long
    
    'Delete any comments
    Dim oComments As Object
    Set oComments = WordDoc.Comments
    
    For n = oComments.Count To 1 Step -1
        oComments(n).Delete
    Next 'n

   'Add signature and sign it with user information -- Need Help



    'Remove track changes
    WordDoc.Revisions.AcceptAll
  
    'Create PDF -- Need Help


    WordApp.Documents.Save 
    WordApp.Quit 
        
    Set oComments = Nothing
    Set WordDoc = Nothing
    Set WordApp = Nothing

End Sub

I am using the following methodology to add the signature but the problem is it requires the user to hit enter to verify the details. Is there a method to do that automatically?

Code:
Sub Macro1()
    Dim mysignature1 As Signature
    Set mysignature1 = ActiveDocument.Signatures.AddSignatureLine("{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}")
    mysignature1.Setup.SuggestedSigner = "Name"
    mysignature1.Setup.SuggestedSignerLine2 = "Project Manager"
    mysignature1.Setup.SuggestedSignerEmail = "email@domain.com"
    
End Sub
