Can I add two Signature pads when signing a document first and sending it to my client

Question

Can I add two signature pads when signing a document first and sending it to my client?


Answer

Absolutely! You can easily include two signature pads, one for yourself and one for your clients, in this scenario.

Here’s how it’s done:


Add multiple signature pads

PlatoForms allows you to add as many signature pads as you need. One signature certificate is issued per submission, and it lists every Signature field that was signed.

  1. Add two Signature fields to your form: one for your signature and one for your client’s.

    Dropdown field properties

  2. Nothing else is needed on the fields. Every Signature field on the form goes on the certificate.

Note

No form builder shows the Collected to Signature Certificate option any more. If a form created before the certificate was upgraded leaves a Signature field off its certificate, clone the form: the copy gets the current certificate, which covers every Signature field.


Use the pre-filled feature

If you need to sign the form before sending it to your client, the “Pre-filled form” feature is here to help.

  1. After publishing your form, open its Invitation panel.

    Invitation button

  2. Configure the invitation settings.

    For details, refer to Set your invitation.

  3. Once you’ve set up your invitation, click the Pre-fill Form button at the top.

    For details, refer to Pre-filled form.

    Click the invitation button

  4. In the page that opens:

    Enable Turn on Pre-filled fields are read-only

    • Draw, type, or upload your signature.
    • Turn on Pre-filled fields are read-only to prevent your client from modifying your signature.
    • Click Save Pre-filled Form.

Preview

After signing the form and sending the invitation to your client, when they open the form, they’ll see your signature, and they can fill in their own signature in their designated signature pad.

Display two signature pads

Once your client submits the form, the signature certificate lists both signatures. The signer it names is your client, identified by the invitation link they used; your pre-filled signature is part of the document they signed.
