How can I get Date of Signing field to autosize when preparing document for e-sign

Date of signing field seems to have no controls other than format of the date itself. It does not autosize and is truncated on signed document.

    Hi Mark S Kirby,


    Thank you for reaching out.


    If you are referring to resizing the field, that can be done. If you meant something else, please provide more information about what you are trying to achieve. For a detailed explanation of how form fields appear, you can refer to the following help document: Setting field appearance in Authoring.


    Let us know if you have any questions.


    Thanks,

    Meenakshi

    The screenshot above shows the problem. The Date of Signing field has no controls for autosizing to the document.

    I can’t resize the field as it must fit into existing document. The signature field autosizes fine, but the date of signing field seems to use a fixed font size. If I could change that font size default it would work. I am not authoring the pdf, just using esign on pdf.
