      How do I add a signed date field to the PDF?

      Discover how to include sign date fields that automatically fill in the current date when an application is signed on the specified PDF.

      To add a sign date field, follow these steps:

      1. Go to the PDF Mapping homepage, then select and open the mapped PDF that you would like to edit.
      2. On the left-hand sidebar, open the Custom Fields panel, then open the PDF Field Generators panel.
      3. Click the Date Signed field to select it, then move your cursor to the PDF and click again to add the new date signed field.
      4. Click anywhere on the PDF to confirm the new field addition, re-size the field, then click Save.

      Do not change the form field name for date signed fields. If changed, the sign date will not automatically populate when the eSignature process is completed.

      This date will automatically populate the current date when an application is signed on the mapped PDF.

      Here is a short video that provides a clear explanation of the process mentioned above:
