Date Picker- This creates a field which allows the submitter to choose a date on a calendar rather than typing one in.

Existing Field- This creates an element where the contents of another field will be duplicated automatically upon completion (e.g., if there are multiple places in your SeamlessDoc where their full name is necessary).

File Elements

Download Original- Download the original uploaded form (will not include any of the added features from SeamlessDocs)

Update Source PDF- Allows you to change the original PDF of your SeamlessDoc. This is perfect if any changes are made to the PDF, so that you can update your SeamlessDoc to reflect these changes, while still maintaining all of your fields. Currently opens a window with a list of Warnings before continuing that include: Your page count must match., All pages are replaced., Field positions are left untouched., Source pdf is updated to new and will be available for field detection if doc doesn’t have mapped fields. After clicking continue, a new window opens up allowing you to access your various share options that include file upload from your device (computer), uploading by adding a Link (URL), or file upload via Box, DropBox, Gmail, and Google Drive.

Settings Elements

Update Tab Order- Opens a new window on the right hand side where you can drag and reorder the tabs to your choosing.

View Elements

Add On Elements

Auto-Detect Fields- This feature will not only add fields to your form for you, but it will resize them and also label them for you.
