Overview
Accounts enabling the option to Attach a PDF copy of the signed document in emails must decide if the attached agreement is returned as one contiguous PDF file or broken up into the individual files as initially uploaded.
The Merge multiple documents into one document after signing setting allows for both options:
- Merge documents - delivers all files combined into one PDF in the order that the original files were uploaded.
- Keep documents separated - delivers all files separated based on the original files as uploaded.
- Note that the individual agreement PDFs can be manually downloaded from the Manage page.
- All PDF files are secured with the Adobe Acrobat Sign CSD signing certificate.
- Signature fields exist only where they were placed for the signature process.
- If the only signature field on the document is on the last page, only that one file will display the signature.
- If you intend to separate documents and require a signature on every separate file, place a signature field on every file.
Attach a PDF copy of the signed document in emails must be enabled for this setting to have any effect.
