Using eSignature and Acroform fields

eSignature feature overview

Features/elements available within the ESignatureAndFieldSupport element:

• eSignatureCoordinatesOnly: if set to "true," eSignature fields are suppressed on the form and X/Y coordinates are returned. .
• eSignatureDateSupport: allows users to enable or disable the date field in an eSignature. Setting the element to "true" enables the date field; setting the element to "false" disables the date field.
• eSignatureTooltip: allows users to pass a string as a help popup.
• eSignatureInitialsTooltip: allows users to pass a string as a help popup.
• NonSignatureFieldCoordinatesOnly: if set to "true," other Non-Signatures fillable fields (textboxes and checkboxes) are suppressed on the form and X/Y coordinates are returned.

Using SignaturePointSet and eSignatureAndFieldSupport

We have created a new element eSignatureAndFieldSupport with two child flags to control eSignatures and Non-Signature Fillable fields independently. At this time XY coordinates will only be passed for eSignature fields (esignatures, esig date, and initials). In a future release additional enhancements will be made to pass XY coordinates for other fillable fields.

Below is an explanation of these elements, the new flags, and their function together.

• eSignatureAndFieldSupport
  • eSignatureCoordinatesOnly: child of eSignatureAndFieldSupport
    • If true: XY Coordinates are not returned and fields are not rendered on the form.
    • False (Null): XY Coordinates are returned and fields are rendered on the form.
    • Future Function: XY coordinates will be returned when this flag is set to "True".
  • NonSignatureFieldCoordinatesOnly, child of eSignatureAndFieldSupport
  • If true: XY Coordinates are not returned and fields are not rendered on the form.
  • False (Null): XY Coordinates are not returned and fields are rendered on the form.
  • Future Function: XY coordinates will be returned when this flag is set to "True."
