Working with Signature Fields

You can customize the way a certified document behaves

for signers by giving form fields additional

features with seed values. For example, you can

preconfigure custom signing reasons or limit

signing to only those with certificates with

predefined characteristics. Certifying a Document

Your server may require additional or different

authentication steps. Follow directions that
