Electronic signature
123 Form Builder is a free online form builder that gives you the ability to create electronic forms online of any kind and add electronic signatures to them. Now you can close deals with your partners online, without having to arrange a meeting for this purpose only.
Use the electronic signature field to get an electronic equivalent of the handwritten signature from your form respondents.
To add the electronic signature field, go to your Form Editor – Advanced Fields and drag the electronic signature field onto your form.
Below, you can find major functionality of the electronic signature and how you can put them into use:
electronic signature complexity – select the electronic signature complexity depending on the nature of your needs by choosing Edit field → Advanced → Signature Complexity (Low / Average / High). This option may be used in order to avoid receiving overly simplified shapes instead of signatures, such as a bare line. High complexity requires at least one letter for most cases.
Clear link – a Clear link in the form allows users to erase the electronic signature and to create another one before submitting the form.
electronic signature & Email Templates – if you choose to receive a HTML email notification you receive the signature as an embedded image, if you choose Plain text it will be sent to you as YES/NO (meaning the form is signed or not signed).
electronic signature and Submissions – in the email submission panel the signature appears as YES/NO (meaning the form is signed or not signed).
Editing the Form Submissions – as a form owner, if you edit a submission containing a signature, the signature is cleared.
We are also compliant with the UETA and ESIGN Acts when it comes to use the Digital Signature field on your forms.
We recommend to check with your legal counsel in order to ensure that the electronic signature would be accepted for your purposes.

Good day,
The signature captured in the signature field is not visible on the PDF or HTML when received. I have increased the size of the field. How can I view the signature clearly?
Hi John! With custom CSS you can only change the design/visual of form elements. The signature field has a fixed size where users can sign, and even if you increase its size with CSS, you will receive only that small portion of the signature box (as it is by default, without the CSS code). The design changes, not its functionality.Please remove the CSS applied to see the full signature. Thank you!
Is by any chance the signature now compatible with elDAS European regulations?
At the moment our signature field is only compatible with the ESIGN and UETA acts. I have sent a feature request to our team as a future improvement to our platform.
Thank you!
i have tested the digital signature and nothing happens, how do people sign it please
Hello!
To use the digital signature, click on the field to lock into it. Next, click, hold and drag your mouse to add your signature. Use the Clear link on the bottom right side of the signature layout to delete the signature and start again.

Are there any browser compatibility issues with the digital signature? We seem to be having problems in Internet Explorer 8 and 9. The line within the box is only half way across and we can only sign above the line.
Hello!
We’ve checked on IE 8 and it works fine. Could you please send us a short video of how this happens at support@123formbuilder.com? Also, specify us your Operating System, browser and the version of the browser you are using.
Thanks!
