Sending an untagged document through an API call

[tcame051]

Hi,

Our product is currently integrated with Adobe Sign through the API and this continues to work quite well. I have a question about the functionality when you send an untagged document (i.e. no text tags to anchor signatures) to Adobe Sign through the API. When I was working on this integration several years ago, the outcome of this was that the signatures would be defaulted to go on the final page of the document near the bottom. I was wondering if this is still outcome, or are there other options for resolving the position (e.g. the signer can drag their signature to the appropriate spot on the document)?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

To my knowledge, signers are not able to alter or change the position of Form Fields within Adobe Sign, as the document should be legally viable and therefore not editable after the point of sending. The recipient should only be able to fill in/tick/sign any fields assigned to them.

If you'd like for this feature to be added to Adobe Sign, you can put a request on the Adobe Sign Feature Request page. 

All documents where the recipient has a 'signer role' will automatically be populated with a signature box on the last page, if there is no signature field tagged for the recipient. If you change the role from 'signer' to 'approver', this is no longer the case and no signature box will appear.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Marjan! That's what I thought and what my experience was previously, I was just looking for the confirmation that you provided.
