Powerforms can be particular about the setup, normally I have run into this when I have the 1st Recipient with the Name and Email address filled out in the Template. The 1st Recipient should have a Role but should not have a Name or Email address as that should be filled out by whomever is initiating the envelope from that Powerform. I suggest remove that Name and Email address from Recipient in Position 1 and try to create the Powerform again.
