🎯 AI Form Field Detection: Hours of Work in Minutes

Creating eSignature templates just got exponentially faster. Our new AI Form Field Detection uses advanced vision technology to automatically identify and place form fields on your PDF documents—eliminating tedious manual field placement.

How It Works:

Simply upload your PDF and click "Detect Form Fields". Our AI vision technology analyzes the document and automatically detects:

  • Text fields
  • Signature blocks
  • Initial fields
  • Date fields
  • Checkboxes
  • Radio buttons
  • Dropdown menus

The system returns exact coordinates with confidence scores, ensuring precise field placement on every page.

Smart Features:

  • Automatic Deduplication: Proximity-based algorithms prevent duplicate field detections
  • One-Click Detection: Scan individual PDF pages instantly with a single button click
  • Usage Tracking: Monitor feature adoption through Settings > Usage Overview
  • High Accuracy: Advanced AI vision delivers reliable field recognition across various document formats

Real-World Impact:

What used to take hours of manual field placement now happens in minutes. Create contract templates, rental agreements, and service authorizations faster than ever before—without sacrificing accuracy.

This feature is available with your document plan subscription, transforming how you build eSignature workflows.


✍️ Multiple Signature Support: Complex Workflows Simplified

Managing documents that require multiple signatures is now streamlined with our comprehensive Multi-Signer Support. This powerful feature enables sophisticated document workflows where different parties sign different sections—all within one unified document.

Advanced Capabilities:

  • Individual Field Assignment: Assign specific form fields to individual signers by email address
  • Group Assignments: Use group identifiers like "to-recipients" to assign fields to multiple signers at once
  • Sequential Signing: Configure signing order to ensure proper sequence with support for multiple rounds
  • Signer-Specific Views: Each signer sees only their assigned fields, creating a focused signing experience
  • Visual Indicators: Color-coded badges show which fields belong to which signer in the document designer
  • Detailed Status Tracking: Monitor each signer's status (pending, viewed, signed) individually with real-time progress updates

Smart Validation:

Our intelligent validation system ensures that form requirements only apply to the current signer's fields—preventing workflow blockages caused by incomplete assignments from other signers.

Workflow Example:

Send a boat storage contract where the customer signs rental terms, the marina manager approves slip assignments, and the insurance coordinator acknowledges coverage requirements—all in one document with proper signing order and field isolation.

Automatic Field Flattening:

Completed fields are automatically flattened after signing to prevent subsequent modifications, ensuring document integrity throughout the multi-signer process.


Additional Improvements

This release also includes important bug fixes and enhancements:

  • Enhanced error messages for AI feature subscription requirements
  • Improved validation logic for multi-signer field identification
  • Better signature image placement across different field types
  • Enhanced deduplication for form field detection results
