eoRemoveFormFields

Action Parameter eoRemoveFormFields
Purpose This action allows the client application to remove unnecessary signature blocks and text fields from a document. This action cannot be used after a signature has been applied to the PDF file.
Description Removes the signature blocks from an unsigned PDF file, and returns an XML response containing the revised document version identifier for the PDF file without the signature and text blocks.
Type Granular
Preconditions Document profile has been created in the eCore® service, and the client application has the dpSid.

Document profile contains one or more signature blocks and/or textblocks that need to be removed.

Document profile does not contain an Electronic Original document.
Implementation Notes To reduce the number of signature templates that need to be managed, we recommend building a master signature template that includes all possible form fields (i.e. signature blocks for all possible signers) and using this API call to remove form fields that are not required for each specific document instance.

Parameters

Required Parameter Value Description
required dpSid Unique identifier of the document profile.
required blockListXMLFile An XML file that has the names of the form fields to be removed. Complies with the transformation-instruction-set.xsd schema (sample).

Response

We recommend using the most recent version of FireFox while testing API calls via your web browser. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome require 3rd party XML extensions to display the XML response natively in your browser.
