Abstract:
Systems and methods for ensuring proper placement of electronic signatures in dynamic electronically-signed documents where the signature location of the documents may change based on changes of terms within the documents are described. The documents are dynamic or variable documents in that the text and signature line or lines of the documents move based on the document terms, number of signatories, etc. Computers and computer programs are used to scan through a dynamic document and determine where to print signatures when signatories log into an electronic signing room and elect to sign a given document. Information about a document is gathered from an electronic version of the document to locate signature lines and initials lines. Information regarding the locations of all signature and initials lines is then passed with the document for electronic signature. When the document is electronically signed, the electronic signature images are therefore placed in correct locations.
