Adding Form field Signature to a PDF using REST API v6

[Kent29526989ns4x]

I have been attempting to use the v6 API to create form fields on a uploaded PDF. Basically, I’m trying to do the v6 REST API version of this:

https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/kb/place-form-fields-in-a-document-using-rest-api-adobe-sign.html

Is there an update of this or a resource example?

It creates the agreement just fine, but no field ever gets created. I have tried many iterations. Here’s the body I was working on in a Logic App:

{

    "fileInfos": [{

        "transientDocumentId": "XXXXXXXXXXXX"

    }],

    "formFieldGenerators": [{

        "formFieldDescription": {

            "contentType": "SIGNATURE_BLOCK",

            "inputType": "SIGNATURE"

        },

        "anchorTextInfo": {

            "anchorText": "Test",

            "anchoredFormFieldLocation": {

                "height": 130,

                "width": 100

            }

        },

        "formFieldNamePrefix": "kdc_",

        "participantSetName": "KDC1",

        "generatorType": "ANCHOR_TEXT"

    }],

    "name": "kdc",

    "participantSetsInfo": [{

        "name": "KDC1",

        "order": 1,

        "role": "SIGNER",

        "memberInfos": [{

            "email": "myRedactedEmail@email.com"

        }]

    }],

    "signatureType": "ESIGN",

    "state": "IN_PROCESS"

}

For those looking for a solution, Adobe has the anchor text functionality disabled by default. If you contact support, they can contact Ops who can enable it on your account.

Thanks @Kent29526989ns4x, I was scratching my head why I couldn't get my fields to appear until I came across your post here. Adobe Ops team is activating that functionality for me now.

Thanks!

Did this ever work for you? Tried the same thing and didn't work. I hae Anchor text enabled.

[Kent29526989ns4x]

Yes it works. Did you get Adobe Support to enable the functionality for the account you are using? That has to happen or else you will always get nothing.

I'm trying to do the same thing, add a blank signature field into the PDF. By any chance do you have the email of the support team? Only thing I'm getting at are AI chatbots.

Found this post... just trying to add support for Adobe Sign to our application. The guidance/examples/documentation for creating agreements via the API is incredibly poor. I've spent a week trying to get this to work already.

If a feature is disabled by default the minimum I'd expect is a note in the documentation to point this out, and perhaps an error thrown if you try to use the feature via the API. 

There seems to be some logic at work when adding form fields but since it's undocumented and there are no examples to work with, it's very frustrating. I'm reaching the point I tell our customers the  solution might be "use DocuSign, we can't support Adobe"
