ASP.NET MVC how can I convert my byte[] of a signature, using the signaturepad library, into a jpeg that keeps the signature's image?

Question

I have been capturing user signatures using signature pad (https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad/). I need to be able to convert these signatures into a jpeg that retains the image of the signature. I can't get it to work with out the images just being a big black box. I think it has something to do with how the images are rendered.

I used this tutorial to create the signatures (https://www.thewebflash.com/using-signature-pad-with-asp-net-mvc/). I need the signature in a picture format so I can put it on my form. I'm guessing something is going wrong because javascript is needed to render the byte[] correctly, so I'm not converting the raw byte[] to a jpeg correctly in the controller (last part).

Here is my code:

Class:

public class Signature
{
        public int ID { get; set; }
        [UIHint("SignaturePad")]
        public byte[] MySignature { get; set; }

}

public class SignatureDbContext : DbContext
{
    public DbSet<Signature> SignatureDatabase { get; set; }
}

UIHint attribute in order to specify that the following SignaturePad.cshtml templates should be used to display the model property in a view.

Views\Shared\DisplayTemplates\SignaturePad.cshtml :

@model byte[]

<div class="signature-pad">
<canvas class="panel panel-default"></canvas>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-sm btn-clear-     canvas">Clear</button>
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model, new { @disabled = "disabled" })

and Views\Shared\EditorTemplates\SignaturePad.cshtml :

@model byte[]

<div class="signature-pad">
<canvas class="panel panel-default"></canvas>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-sm btn-clear-canvas">Clear</button>
@Html.HiddenFor(model => model, ViewData["htmlAttributes"])

In my css Content\Site.css I have this :

.signature-pad > canvas {
display: block;
width: 300px;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}

In the scripts folder I have a javascript script to help render the image on the view.

SignaturePadInit.js :

var signaturePadWrappers = document.querySelectorAll('.signature-pad');

[].forEach.call(signaturePadWrappers, function (wrapper) {
var canvas = wrapper.querySelector('canvas');
var clearButton = wrapper.querySelector('.btn-clear-canvas');
var hiddenInput = wrapper.querySelector('input[type="hidden"]');

var signaturePad = new SignaturePad(canvas);

// Read base64 string from hidden input
var base64str = hiddenInput.value;

if (base64str) {
    // Draws signature image from data URL
    signaturePad.fromDataURL('data:image/png;base64,' + base64str);
}

if (hiddenInput.disabled) {
    signaturePad.off();
    clearButton.classList.add('hidden');
} else {
    signaturePad.onEnd = function () {
        // Returns signature image as data URL and set it to hidden input
        base64str = signaturePad.toDataURL().split(',')[1];
        hiddenInput.value = base64str;
    };

    clearButton.addEventListener('click', function () {
        // Clear the canvas and hidden input
        signaturePad.clear();
        hiddenInput.value = '';
    });
}
});

When I want to see the signature in a view I include this at the buttom or else the signature appears as an empty white box:

@section Scripts {
<script src="~/Scripts/signature_pad.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/SignaturePadInit.js"></script>
}

The signature_pad.min.js comes default with the signaturepad library through nuget. I didn't touch it and I don't think it needs to be discussed. I haven't included it because it is extremely long.

Here is my code for converting the byte[] to a jpeg. It converts the byte[] to a jpeg and adds it to a pdf but I have excluded everything but the part that converts to a jpeg. even saving the image locally yeilds a file that is a black block with no signature :

    public ActionResult GeneratePDFforSignature(int? id)
    {

        if (id == null)
        {
            return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
        }
        Signature signature = db.SignatureDatabase.Find(id);

        Image x = (Bitmap)((new ImageConverter()).ConvertFrom(signature.MySignature));
        System.Drawing.Image img = x;
        img.Save(Server.MapPath("~/Content/test.jpg"), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

        //return View();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

I really dont know what to do next to fix this and get the signatures as a jpeg with an actual image in it. I guess I'll keep messing with the SignaturePadInit.js for now. If anyone needs me to post more information to fix this please let me know in the comments.

这里只是一个刺，但是你试过看看渲染到24bit png是否有效，允许没有图像/签名的区域是透明的吗？

我只是认为这是因为我有类似的问题，其中有透明度的编码像素，我没有考虑过，它有同样的问题。 （会评论，但系统不会让我）
