Hi,

When I call the'PUT /agreements/{agreementId}/formFields' API, I set the'top' and'left' properties but no effect. When I go to sign, the position of the signature area is always top: 171.6px; left : 153.9px; instead of the 10px I set, I don’t know why the value I set has no effect, thanks for any suggestions.

Best Regards.

Adobe Sign PDF Width: 992 Height: 1403, which is not a standard PDF width, so when setting top and left, need to convert Adobesign coordinates according to own coordinates

an easier way is to sent a test agreement using the webportal and drag the fields in the correct postiion and send for signature. From the manage page open the agreement and grab the agreementID from the address bar.

Then call GET /agreements/{agreementId}/formFields' which should get you the correct co-ordinates.

Hi SimonESATS,

Thank you for your reply.

Our system also has a page for displaying documents, and can drag and drop the signature area. I need to send the signature location and document in our system to Adobesign, and make the location look the same as in our system.

And I noticed in the API：top (number): No. of pixels from bottom of the page for form field placement,Although the top attribute is set, the value of ‘bottom’ is passed in. Note here too.
The second problem is that the PDF in our system, width: 595 height: 842, Adobesign pdf width: 992 height: 1403, ratio: 1403/842 ≈ 1.667, the value I pass in should also consider this ratio. These two After the problem is solved, everything is normal.

Thanks.
Best Regards.
