Allow signers to Print & Sign documents

BoldSign supports signers to allow printing and signing the document. This article will guide you on how to enable signers to print and sign the document using the API.

You can allow signers to print and sign the document by setting EnablePrintAndSign to true when sending the document via API.

Below are a few code examples demonstrating how to allow signers to print and sign the document.

Code snippet

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://api.boldsign.com/v1/document/send' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-API-KEY: {your API key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F 'Signers={
  "name": "David",
  "emailAddress": "[email protected]",
  "formFields": [
    {
      "id": "string",
      "fieldType": "Signature",
      "pageNumber": 1,
      "bounds": {
        "x": 100,
        "y": 100,
        "width": 100,
        "height": 20
      },
      "isRequired": true
}
  ],
  "locale": "EN"
}' \
  -F 'EnablePrintAndSign=true' \
'Files={your file}' \
  -F 'Title=Print and Sign' \

import * as fs from 'fs';

const documentApi = new DocumentApi("https://api.boldsign.com");
documentApi.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");

const bounds = new Rectangle();
bounds.x = 100;
bounds.y = 100;
bounds.width = 200;
bounds.height = 100;

const formField = new FormField();
formField.id = "Signature";
formField.fieldType = FormField.FieldTypeEnum.Signature;

const documentSigner = new DocumentSigner();

documentSigner.formFields = [formField];

const sendForSign = new SendForSign();
sendForSign.title = "Sample Document";
sendForSign.signers = [documentSigner];
sendForSign.files = [fs.createReadStream("YOUR_FILE_PATH")];
sendForSign.enablePrintAndSign = true;

const documentCreated = documentApi.sendDocument(sendForSign);

In the example code above, by setting EnablePrintAndSign to true, the document will be sent to the signer, who can then proceed to print and sign it.
