Shut off auto field detection??

I believe all previous answers had a fundamental misunderstanding of what the actual problem was. I came here looking for an answer and ended up finding it on my own.

The problem:

You just uploaded a PDF into Docusign, and you want to set it up for signature. You designate your signer and you click Next. Before you do anything, Docusign adds the “Signature” and “Date Signed” fields to the document where it thinks they belong. 9 times out of 10, they do not belong there. You have learned that the best way to deal with this is to click “Undo” as soon as this pops up and to fill the document the way you know it should be done.

The Solution:

Go to the Docusign Home Page. From there, navigate to Admin → Signing and Sending → Sending Settings. Look for a checked box that says, “Enable field assist for senders.” Uncheck this box. Congrats! You just saved 10 seconds every time you send a document.
