How to see the overflow text in a signed document

If the person who is filling in the Docusign form types too much on some lines, all I can see is the last partial word before the end of the text box. I am sure there is more typing in there, but I can’t see it anywhere. The PDF doesn’t show it, I can’t get to it from the Docusign original. I really need to see what the person typed, but since the document is signed I can’t seem to get at it.

Is there any way to see the overflow or hidden text, once a document has been signed?

Thanks!

Hello ​@dwdandsks,

Thank you for reaching out here in Docusign Community.

You can try double-clicking the text until it copies the whole text value and paste it into Notepad and see if the value entered by the recipient will be visible.

It’s best to adjust the text field size before sending to ensure that value entered by recipient will be visible in the document.
