Agreement via API - Remove Signature/Email fields

Community Beginner ,
Oct 25, 2021 Oct 25, 2021

I've managed to successfully create an Agreement via the API which has form fields assigned for each signer.

 

I'm still getting the default Signature/Email fields added to a 2nd page - I don't really need the signer to complete these as I already have their details and they have already signed on one of the form fields. Is it possible when using form fields to have the default signature/email section not show:

Hello, did you figure out a way to do that having the same issue?

Hi @ramzi_3097,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry to hear about your trouble with using Acrobat Sign.

 

Here's what I could find related to the issue, which might be helpful. 

 

From the original description, this is what seems to happen:

 

  • If a required signature field is missing for a recipient, Acrobat Sign will automatically place a signature block at the end of the document to ensure compliance.

  • The “signature block” often includes both the signature field and email (plus other standard metadata, depending on the settings).

  • So even if you supply your own form fields, if Acrobat Sign determines that some required signature (or required signature-style field) is missing, it adds the default block.

What you can try:

 

Include custom signature fields: If you include valid signature fields for each signer in the document (with correct recipient assignment, type, etc.), that may satisfy the requirement, so Acrobat Sign does not insert its own default signature/email block. But the “correctness” is strict (required signature, assigned to signer, etc.). If your custom fields are optional or not assigned properly, Sign may still consider them insufficient.

 

Settings of the sending group/account: Some account/group configuration settings (in Acrobat Sign) may affect how signature blocks are treated. For example, whether the signature “block style” is required, or whether certain fields (like signer email, title, company) are required. Those settings may force Sign to include email/email field in the signature block automatically.

 

Information around all of the above can be found here: https://adobe.ly/46JBH1S

 

Also, another step to try would be:

Disable Form Field Detection: Turning off automatic detection of signature or data fields so that Adobe Sign doesn’t try to “fill in” form fields or force signature blocks. Here's a community thread that discusses on how to do so: https://adobe.ly/3VnsPZy

 

Let us know if this helps.

 


Regards,
Souvik.
