Can we send Visualforce page rendered as pdf for Esignature using Docusign.
Cannot use template function provided by DocuSign as a number of components are dynamic which can't be done using Docusign template.
Any ideas?
You want a VisualForce page turned into a PDF and then sent to DocuSign for signature?
The first part (turning a VisualForce page into a PDF) is the hard part. You need to accomplish that.
The usual technique is to have your application create a dynamic document on the fly, then send it to DocuSign. You can create PDFs dynamically using a software library.
But it is often easier to create an HTML document. If you send an HTML document to DocuSign, then it must use inline CSS styling (not an external style sheet) and must also include inline graphics via the data: URL type
I have a requirement to send documents for E-Signing using DocuSign API.The number of documents to be send is dynamic and is decided by admin user of my application.I need to programmatically add a Signature page at the end of each document.
Please do let me know if this possible using the DocuSign API. If yes , can you please provide the steps/sample code to do this.
This worked for me:
https://developers.docusign.com/esign-rest-api/guides/features/tabs#tab-placement-method-2-auto-place-anchor-tagging
For instance, let's say we have a document that contains the text "Please Sign Here:". If we want to place a signature tab where this string is found in the document, or better yet place a signature tab 1 inch to the right of the string to make sure the signature does not overwrite it
Has anyone managed to provide an end-user with an updated PDF, allowing that user to transfer his local annotations to the new PDF and keeping the annotations on the correct page, even when there are pages inserted into the update PDF at a point earlier in the PDF than the annotations.
I thought there might be a page map or page guid approach that someone has used.
Sorry - I hope that is clear.
Instead of using the page index as ID of the page, you can use the page content stream instead (after decoding/decompression). Most PDF libraries will give you access to that, so you could compute an MD5 hash from the page content and search for that instead on your "updated" file in order to know where to transfer your annotations.
This is assuming that the page content will be indeed identical, which is not a common scenario.
I am generating a PDF using itext 5.0.5.I am reading different mime types image,pdf,html content etc. and then reading those files from database and generating pdf.
There are two type of document user can view a individual document and a collection of documents in one single generated pdf.
I HAVE ONE PROBLEM WITH HTML content pdf header part.This html content is coming from a text area on a form,there a user will get the header information prepoulated in text area then he can type and create document.At the time of pdf generation if i am using page event to generate the header for each page for every mime type document.
For html content the header is coming two times.What i want to do is for html type document on first page header should not be generated for first page.I got the solution for pdf if i am reading the individual document but when i am reading the final pdf which is containing all documents of different mime types then it's not working.Is there any way so that i can do like header will not be generated for html type content's first page for rest of pages it will be generated using page event.
please help.
Perhaps you could use two different pageEvents when dealing with HTML. One that added headers (the current one), and one that set the page event handler to the original one.
You start off with the new one. The first page event comes along, and that new event handler changes the current page event handler. The remaining pages are stamped with headers as usual.
I have two pdf documents (doc1 and doc2) with hyperlinks e.g www.somlink.com, www.somlink2.com.
According to PDF Specification I can get those hyperlinks via Link Annotations. Link Annotations can be found in pdf page's dictionary under "Annots" key.
CGPDFDictionaryRef pageDictionary = CGPDFPageGetDictionary(someCGPDFPage);
CGPDFArrayRef annots;
CGPDFDictionaryGetArray(pageDictionary, "Annots", &annots);
So the problem is that in one pdf document (doc1) I get that "Annots" array but in another document (doc2) there is no such entry in page dictionary.
And the thing is that with PDFKit.framework you can get those annotations in PDFPage class using - (NSArray *)annotations method even if there is no "Annots" entry in page dictionary.
I can't use PDFKit.framework on iPad/iPhone so I am working with Quartz framework :)
So it seems that there is another place where you can specify hyperlinks (or Link Annotations in PDF Reference), not only in "Annots" array and PDFKit.framework somehow know ho to do that.
Any ideas where can I get those hyperlinks?
Links on a page THAT YOU CAN CLICK ON have to be annotations. Period. No annotations, no links.
A string of text "http://blah.com" isn't necessarily a link, it's just a piece of text describing a URL. This may be what's causing your confusion.
It's also possible to embed link actions in bookmarks. I'm not at all familiar with PDFKit or Quartz, so you're on your own as far as API calls are concerned.
And finally, (having reread your question), I believe annotations can be inherited from their parent Pages object. Gonna have to look that one up... Nope. The annotations array MUST be in the leaf page object, or it's not valid.
Can you post links to your PDFs? Something Ain't Right here.
PDF viewer like Adobe Reader simply allows to click and navigate on a plain text, if it looks as a hyperlink - i.e. starts with http://, https://, ftp:// and ends up with some URL delimiter such as space. As simple as that ;)
