Does this not exist in the new version of Document Cloud? I would like to be able to add form field layers for signing an Invoice where the account information is going to be different each time I use the form - so the standard template will not work.

Thanks!

Hello Ttimmer,

The form field layer is still available under Template section to create them. Here is the reference for help:

Rijul (or anyone else) is it possible to create a form field layer within Acrobat Pro DC? I'm not sure my organization has document cloud/Adobe Sign available to me.

    This needs to be added to every edition. Adobe will begin losing customers to other products. I use adobe sign for my company financials to be reviewed and not having the form fields template is going to cause me to search for another e-sign product. I am the only one who would use this so it makes to sense to get the business plan.

      Hi, has this question been resolved for you?  I have the same question.  I chatted with support and was told that when Echosign and Adobe merged this feature went away.

      I am hoping you found a solution as this would be very handy.

      That would be wonderful if the button to change versions (as referenced in the tutorial) actually existed on my software... but it does not.

      I have attached a screen shot below that shows were the option to change versions should be...

        First of all, it's still possible to add library documents for pro agreement. This discussion centers on creating and use  re-usable form layers.

        So instead of having a document plus fields, this feature let;s you create a template of just the fields, which can be stamped on uploaded document.

        The help article from earlier, only discusses the second part  on how to stamp these layers on an agreement.

        It doesn't explain how to create field layers. Creating form layers is done by going to the dashboard>add Template to library.

        In an account that support it, it's here you get the option to create a reusable form layer.

        now as far as I'm aware this field layer feature only ever has  been a feature in multi user accounts. (So old echosign team accounts and higher) In the Document cloud that would be Document Cloud Enterprise premium.

        I even checked with an old pro account which hasn't been updated to the Document Cloud, and that doesn't this feature either.

        if you did indeed used to have reusable form layers as an option, were you using an Echosign pro, or a different type of account?

        However I'll check with our Product management to see if perhaps this feature can be made part of the Pro account.


        I was using the old echoSign trial version. Yesterday I paid for "Send for Signature" plan and I have the same problem. I can't stamp form fields templates on uploaded documents. Which plan I should get? How much is it? No info on the website. Without this feature it's completely useless for me...

        Thanks!
