Documents and Contracts: Displacement of Elements in PDFs Fixed

Created by Dakota Routh, Modified on Tue, 29 Jul at 4:45 AM by Dakota Routh

What’s New?
PDF Fillable Elements Now Accurately Positioned Across Page Breaks
We’ve squashed a long‑standing bug where form fields—like Signatures, text inputs, checkboxes, dates, and initials—could drift out of place in your downloaded PDFs when content spanned multiple pages. From contracts to intake forms, your fillable elements will now stick right where you put them—no more surprises in the final document!
How to Use?
  • Create a 
    new document or template
     in the Builder as usual.
  • Place your fillable elements (input fields, checkboxes, date pickers, signature/initial blocks) anywhere on the page—even over long text blocks or tables that may break across pages.
  • Download the PDF: every fillable element will stay perfectly aligned, exactly as you saw in the Builder.
Note:
All new documents and templates created on or after May 27, 2025 include this fix by default. If you faced issues in older version of documents, don't clone them as they would still follow the previous methodology of anchoring. Instead, create a new document/template to avoid the issue.

Why we built it?
Whether you’re generating one‐page agreements or multi‑page intake packets, our smarter anchoring system keeps every form element tied to its content, even when page breaks occur.

  • One rare edge case remains—fields placed exactly at the top of a new page may still misalign. A targeted patch is already in progress and will be live shortly.
