Hi, 

 

I work as a technical writer for Contract research organization. We deliver reports to our client using FDA eCTD submission guideline where have specific document properties (PDF Signed document needs to have fast web view enabled)  that need to be set for FDA document submission and electronic document compliance. However, DocuSign changes the pdf properties after getting signatures. Once the document is signed PDF properties cannot be edited and the document is no longer compliant. Is there a way to prevent Docusign from editing the PDF document properties?

 

I do see similar thread where someone has raised the similar question and it’s resolved. However, I can’t find the resolution. Appreciate for any help. Thanks!

Hello ​@maihar,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to the Docusign Community! We appreciate your question and want to assure you that we are fully committed to providing you with the best service possible. 

 

We understand that when a document is signed through DocuSign, the removal of specific properties, such as “Fast Web View” from PDF properties can lead to non-compliance. We realize this can pose significant challenges for technical writers and organizations that rely on strict adherence to regulatory standards. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and would like to explain this further.

 

This is expected behavior from the application, and no setting in the Admin dashboard would allow you to manage it. However, I want to assure you that this issue has been brought to our engineering team’s attention. They are currently assessing the possibility of implementing an option that would allow you to control this behavior.
