Checkboxes

Hi, If my understanding is correct the Checkbox in eSignLive PDF form is bound to a Signature field. What this means is, as a user signing the form, I have the option to Check or Uncheck it. However, is there a checkbox that I can put on the form that will be filled with static data. Similar to injected fields. What I would want is a Checkbox that when an injected fields "CHECKBOX_1" for example is "true" a check appears in that Checkbox. If the "CHECKBOX_1" is "false" then the box would remain unchecked. The user would not have the ability to check or uncheck it, this would all have to be data driven. How would I set it up through the .NET SDK? Is this possible? Is there an example? Thanks!

A checkbox is an unbound field where its value can be assigned or changed only by the relevant signer before they sign the associated signature. Therefore, the signer will always have the ability to check or uncheck the checkbox. There isn't a static checkbox per say. Having said that, the checkbox will appear as an "X" if selected or empty otherwise, after the signer has signed. What I can suggest is to create a custom field with value X and add it to your document whenever "CHECKBOX_1" is set to true. Here's our documentation for custom fields: http://docs.e-signlive.com/doku.php?id=esl:e-signlive_guide_custom_fields Let me know if this works for you.

That is kind of the direction we were going in. The only drawback with the X in the injected field is that our customer now chooses to maintain 2 sets of PDF forms. One for the auto-fill by eSignLive and another PDF form that they will use when sitting face to face with a client of theirs. The first scenario the form has no checkbox, the 2nd scenario, the form will have a checkbox. While this works, I am not terribly excited because it does mean duplication of the form assets, unless we can find a way in PDF Acrobat to overlay a Label with a checkbox, without one interfering with the other.
