Recent recipient history

When you enter recipient addresses in Recepients, Approvers, or Send a copy, DocStudio saves recent addresses in local storage.

Rules for saved history:

• Store the last 5 unique addresses

• Keep mailbox and email addresses in one shared list

• Move an existing address to the top when you use it again

• Remove the oldest entry when the list exceeds 5 saved addresses

• Show no more than 6 items in total, including My mailbox

Email addresses use the Mail icon in a circle.

Fill fields as Sender

If you enabled I want to sign or fill an envelope, as sender, you can add dynamic fields and fill them.

Sender can fill:

• Text

• Number

• Currency

• Date

• Choice

• Checkbox

• Dropdown

• Dictionary

• Lookup

• Duplicate

• Formula

• QR/barcode

• Signature

• Initials

If there are other recipients, you can choose who fills each field.

If sender is the only role, all fields are assigned to Sender by default.

Sender-only fields

Use advanced settings to fine-tune a field.

Examples:

• min/max for Number

• date + time for Date

• QR/barcode size

• field name

Field advanced settings

You can enter data in three ways:

1. Fill data inside field properties.

2. Click a Signature field and draw a signature.

3. Double-click the field.

Double-click works for:

• Text, Number, Currency (edit mode)

• Date and QR/barcode (modal window)

• Choice and Checkbox (toggles the value)

Import embedded PDF fields

If an uploaded PDF has embedded fields, you can convert them to DocStudio dynamic fields.

For each document with embedded fields, you will see an action modal.

Embedded fields modal

Available actions depend on the embedded field types:

1. Keep encrypted, assign fields to. Keeps encryption.

2. Assign fields to. Converts embedded fields to DocStudio fields (if possible).

3. Keep editable fields data. Keeps editable fields as read-only. Removes signatures and/or encryption. Existing fields are not converted. You can add new fields.

4. Remove editable fields. Removes embedded signatures, encryption, and editable fields. You can add new fields.

If the document has more signatures than recipients, Assign fields to is not available.

You can assign imported fields to Recipients. You can also assign them to Sender if you enabled I want to sign or fill an envelope.

• Text → Text field

• Date → Text field

• Checkbox → Checkbox field

• Radio button → Choice field

• Dropdown menu → Menu field

• Listbox → Menu field

• Picture → not supported (field is ignored)

• Barcode → not supported (field is ignored)

All imported fields will keep their original required or optional fields from the PDF.

If you upload several PDFs with fields, you can choose specific actions for each one. Switch between documents on the left side of the window.
