Pin an element in place: stamp, signature, shapes and text box

Put an element in a fixed position on a given page so it doesn’t move with the text, such as the company stamp or the signature box, and draw your signature by hand.

Steps

1
Insert a shape, a text box or an image, and make it pinned.
2
Drag it to its position on the page.
3
For a signature: insert a signature box, and draw the signature on the Signature pad.
4
For a text box: choose the Text position: top, middle or bottom.

How it works

A pinned element prints on the page you put it on, on top of the content or behind it.

If the document comes out shorter than the design, Corteksa adds a page to carry the element instead of putting it on top of the text.

An element that reaches the margin prints in it. An element that goes off the paper is brought back onto it.

A drawn signature is saved as a high-resolution image inside the template. A signature box with no drawing prints nothing.

Elements pinned on the closing page move with it to the last page.

A pinned element can be linked to a conditional section, so it disappears with it.

Why
What to do
The element moved to an extra page
The document is shorter than the design.
Move the element to an earlier page, or make its page a closing page.
The stamp is on top of the text
The element is on top of the content in the same position.
Move it to an empty space.

A real example

Shield Security Co.
The situation

The manager signed every contract by hand, and then it was scanned.

What they did
  1. A signature box pinned at the bottom of the last page, where the manager drew his signature once.
  2. The stamp image pinned next to it.
The result

Contracts go out signed and stamped, without printing and scanning.

A made-up company, to show the idea. The numbers are rounded.

Good to know

A drawn signature is fixed in the template for every record. It isn’t the client’s electronic signature.
