Upload a PDF file for signing

Uploads a PDF file to Formify, making it available for creating document signature requests via the POST /docs endpoint.

Requirements

  • File Format: Only PDF files are supported.
  • File Size: Maximum allowed file size is 50 MB.
  • Unlocked PDFs Only: The file must not be password-protected or locked in any way. Locked files cannot be processed.
  • No Pre-Signed Documents: The PDF must not contain digital signatures from other services, as these will be removed, invalidating the document's signature integrity.
  • Signature Field Handling: If the uploaded document contains existing signature fields (interactive PDF form fields of type signature), these will be removed automatically. New signature fields, fully compatible with the Formify signing process, must be added to the document instead. This ensures that all signature fields function seamlessly within the Formify platform. By ensuring these requirements are met, you can use the uploaded file to create a document signature request seamlessly.
