Batch Signature Field Placement

anoble

My company typically requires signature fields to be placed at a specific size and location on drawings/documents. At this time, we are accomplishing this by utilizing script with Adobe Pro, and then using Batch Sign & Seal for each user to sign. Would love to see a batch function developed that accurately places signature fields across multiple documents without signing them.

At this point, the best way seems to create and place the fields as desired, then copy/paste in place to each document. But the newly pasted fields do not retain their name. It also requires the paste in place to be done for each dwg.

Another scenario could be to allow the Apply to All Pages to be implemented. A user could then combine their documents, utilize the apply all, then extract again if necessary.

Seems like we're real close to my company being able to remove Adobe Pro from our catalog, but this is one hurdle for us.

I don't work with signature fields but Is the "Name" the only property that changes when you Apply to All Pages? What if you Locked it before copying it or made it a group?
