The E-Signature Module's Form Field Detector supports the ability for you to upload a PDF document or raster image with form fields, auto-detect and convert the active fields for the E-Signature Template. You can modify the fields as needed and share the document with another user who will complete and sign the document. The Form Field Detector facilitates a fast, convenient and more secure process for working with PDF documents and raster images with form fields.
