Hi Team, 

 

I am trying to create an envelope. i have added a pdf document to the envelope[pdf is generated from the word document] and recipient. then i try to add the anchor tab to the same for signature. the anchor tab string is present as a placeholder text on document. however it says anchor tab missing. is there any setup of anchor tab that i may have done wrong.

Hi @RebekahG,

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

At this point, I recommend opening a case with DocuSign Support and having a specialist review this in a screen-sharing session.

 

To open a support case with DocuSign, log into the DocuSign Support Center using your credentials. Select your profile image, then click on "Manage Cases" and "New Case". Choose a category and sub-category for your issue, complete the case form, and submit the case. Case statuses include Open, My Action Required, Pending, and Closed. If your case is closed but the issue persists, open a new case and include the case number of the closed case in your comment.

 

How do I open a case in the DocuSign Support Center?

Hi @christopher.alpizar 

I have flattened the PDF but still receive the same error. “The specified Anchor tab string was not found in the document.  Anchor Tab String “\s1\” not found.”

I have seen articles where the anchor string is used with forward slashes but also with backwards slashes.  Does this matter?  Also, here’s a screenshot of my failed Flow where the output for “tabs” displays 4 forward slashes but my document only consists of two.  Just find this odd but not sure if it’s causing the error.
