Hi, I need to know how to get the layoutId of an existing layout that was created using eSL web portal. The requirement we have is; The user will send the layout name, document and signer info, we then need to go fetch this layout and apply it to the document that the user sent. Also while applying the layout we will need to replace the signature placeholders with the signer information that the user provides. Thanks, Sudhangi

Hi Sudhangi, You can follow this feature guide on how to retrieve your layouts and apply them. The feature guides section is a great place to start when looking for examples. Once you've applied your layouts, you will need to retrieve your package in order to get the id of the placeholder and pass that id when creating your Signer object using the info provided by your user: 
DocumentPackage pack = eslClient.getPackageService().getPackage(packageId);
		
List placeholders = pack.getPlaceholders();
		
List ids = new ArrayList();
		
for (Signer placeholder : placeholders){
			
       System.out.print(placeholder.getPlaceholderName() + " " + placeholder.getId());
	ids.add(placeholder.getId());
			
}
		
Signer signer = SignerBuilder.newSignerWithEmail("[email protected]")
	.withFirstName("John")
	.withLastName("Smith")
	.withCustomId(ids.get(0))
	.build();

eslClient.getPackageService().updateSigner(packageId, signer);
