@Nouma The short answer is “yes”. There are a large variety of DocuSign fields that can be added to the document that is uploaded to the envelope.  Text fields I would say are the most common that can be added and they can utilize validations to apply rules to the text that gets added.  There are many other fields types that you might find useful and I have included a DocuSign article which provides more information:

Hello, @Nouma 

 

Welcome to the DocuSign Community!

 

Yes, you can.

 

Create a new envelope, add the PDF file. Two things to take in consideration:

  1. If the file is a simple .PDF document (not a PDF Form) then after adding it, adding the recipients, you should add Text Fields and other types of fields in the uploaded document so the recipients can fill out.
  2. If the .PDF is a Form with fields already set in the form so after adding the recipients, when you click Next, a pop up window will appear asking how do you want use the PDF form. If you want to keep the already filled fields or you want a fresh new form with fields in blank to be filled out.

Of course, if you are going to use it often, it’s better and more productive to create a Template

 

I hope that helps!
