PDF form filling

PDF documents can contain form and input elements enabling users to add additional information to documents or make selections.

When form filling is enabled a overlay will be rendered in the browser so that users input information, the input will then be flattened into the PDF upon the first signature.

Caveats

• PDF form filling is only supported for the first signatory
• Dropdown/Combo boxes currently have some rendering issues when flattened

​

Creating a signature

To enable form filling you must explicitely enable the feature for each PDF document that you add, the example blow shows how to creates a signature order with form filling enabled.

​

Querying form field values

After the first signatory has filled the forms and signed, you can retrieve the filled form field values by querying the signatureOrder and selecting form.fields on each PDF document.

It is possible to query the form fields as long as the signature order is open or during the retention period after closing.

NB: The form field values are also attached to the document as a JSON file, which can be parsed programmatically.
