Hello,

 

I often need to place my initials on every page in large documents. These documents are often scans of original documents. Is there a way to automate placement of initials on all pages? 

 

Thanks,

J

Hi ​@Jaroste74 !

If you are using a scanned document, unfortunately, it is not possible to add multiple fields. The only way is to use Autoplace. Watch this video below for more information:

Can this be turned into a simple enhancement idea? 
I have had the same issue and a more efficient and easy solution could be to have an option to automatically place initials for each signer in a fixed position on every page (e.g. bottom left for one signer and bottom right for another). This would allow users to simply scroll through the document and make minor adjustments to the placement if needed, instead of manually placing fields page by page and switching between signers.

When creating a Docusign e-signature request for a long contract, the Auto-place function can be useful, but it does not always work as expected and leads to a suboptimal user experience.

For example, I worked on a 290-page contract where only the first 40 pages shared the same layout. The 'auto-place' function only applied to those pages, meaning I had to manually add initials for two signatories across the remaining 250 pages. In addition, the fields were placed on top of the text rather than near it. Adjusting the auto-placed fields in a large document also caused timeouts or loading errors.
