Question

Adobe API not recognizing custom signature fields?

2. Custom Signature Fields Overridden

 I want to define my own signature or initials fields at specific locations in the PDF (via the PUT /agreements/{agreementId}/formFields call).

Issue: Acrobat Sign often replaces/ignores my custom signature fields and inserts a default signature block in a different location. In some cases, the custom fields (non signature) appear, but the signer also sees an automatically generated signature block they must complete instead.

 

Question:

How can I ensure that only my custom signature fields appear, and Acrobat Sign doesn’t override them with an auto-generated signature block?

Hey Meenakshi,

 

Your link goes to Adobe.com/404.

 

I'm having the same issue, and my understanding is it has to do with some Anchor Text Feature, can you provide an updated link for the Pre-Sale Experts to assist?
