How do I determine the position of the signature in the document via the new Signhost webportal?

Updated over a month ago

Make sure your browser is up-to-date if you use the drag-and-drop function.


Once you have added the signer(s), you can upload your document(s) in the next step:

After uploading the document, select the pen symbol next to the document:

Decide which signer you want to set the location for

Please note: If you have already added the signers, you will see their email address instead of 'signer 1', 'signer 2', etc.

Now you can determine the location of the signature by dragging the field to the correct desired location:

Once you have determined the right position, the field should show up on the document like this:

Repeat these steps if you have multiple signers. Click the 'Save & Continue' on the Document Viewer screen to continue with the transaction.


Frequently asked questions

Multiple signatures for one signatory?

It is possible to add multiple signatures for one signer. Click Add Signature again and move the field to the preferred location. You can see how many signatures are added per signer by looking at the number shown in the signature-box.

Eg. 2 signatures are placed on the document for signer 1.

Note: one signature per signer on the document is sufficient for legal validity. Learn more about the Paraph to place a signature on every page.

Can I combine the Signertags and drag and drop?

You cannot combine the signertags and drag and drop. Choose between the signature tags or the drag and drop fields. Tip! Are you using a standard document template? We advise using the signertags.

Can I combine a fillable document and drag and drop?

You cannot combine a fillable document with drag and drop. The signature fields in the fillable document are overwritten by the drag and drop. As a result, the entered data in the fields will not come along successfully.
