Add signature to signed document

Hi, Is it possible to add a signature to a document that has already been signed? Example. Document has one signing block. Person A has signed. Person B is now added to the package and also needs to sign the document Person A just signed. Can we add Person B to this same document? Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason, It is possible but it's not something we would recommend as it is not a valid workflow in eSignLive. One way you could go about it is the following:

  1. Turn off auto-complete feature for the package.
  2. Once person A signs the document, download the flattened signed pdf (GET https://sandbox.esignlive.com/api/packages/{packageId}/documents/{documentId}/pdf?flatten=true). Note that the flattened pdf can only be retrieved through the REST API.
  3. Change package status to draft.
  4. Remove the security of the pdf using an external library such as iTextSharp (https://community.onespan.com/forum/document-locked).
  5. Delete current document from package and reupload new document.
  6. Add person B to package with signatures
  7. Resend package for transaction

Hope this helps.
