When I download the completed document, empty text boxes appear once again over the already filled out form. Why is this happening? Thanks
Whenever trying to access a document that has been filled out by a client, their information that they filled out in text boxes and signatures they signed are covered by blank boxes on top of them. I was wondering why this was the case?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching back.
It could be that the uploaded PDF had these boxes (fields) on them and is overlaying the DocuSign fields, can you try flattening the document and uploading it to DocuSign to see if there is any difference with the outcome, please follow the steps in the following article to have the PDF printed to a new PDF: https://support.docusign.com/s/articles/How-to-resolve-a-document-upload-error-by-printing-the-document-to-a-new-PDF
Also, I would recommend doing these tests in a demo environment if you don't already have one, so that these test envelopes would not be deducted from your allowance, creating a demo account has no cost, it is free: https://go.docusign.com/demo/
Let us know if you need further assistance with this.
