Hi Teaksato

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described your client wants to add an initial field instead of the signature field.

 

- Is he trying to add the initial field while creating the PDF form or when sending the form for signature?

- What is the workflow/steps you are doing?

 

If you are trying to add the initial fiels when creating the PDF form, please try the following steps:

 

Go to Tools > Prepare form and Select 'This document require signature' and click 'Start' and then you will get the option to insert the initial field in the PDF Form as shown below:
