    I realised that I can create a consent form, ask for the user sign it and generate a pdf completely different with user signature.


    Am are right? Is there some way to avoid it?

    Hello P3LifeTrials,

    To clarify, you want to create a consent form by adding a signature and convert it into a PDF Form. To do that please follow the steps below:

    1) Go to your Form Builder and click on the Add Form Elements tab.

    2) Navigate to Widgets and search for Terms & Conditions.

    3) Add your form field by clicking on it.

    4) Click on the Wizard icon to make settings and add the Term Link.

    Hi Fernand,


    thank you for your answer, but my point is that, using the pdf editor, I can generate a pdf completely different from the form. I mean, You can enter your signature in a form that says "I agree the Jotform is great" and I can get your signature and generate a pdf that  say "I will give $1.000.000 to P3Life".

    Any idea about how to give more confidence to the process?

    Hello,

    Sorry, but the PDF Editor will not work that way. If you are generating a PDF document containing your form data/submission, it will show the form fields along with the set up labels only. You will not be able to edit the PDF document to show different titles for the questions/fields.

    Else, if you want to show it separately, you can create a PDF form: https://www.jotform.com/help/212-How-to-Create-a-PDF-Form  

    Do review and let us know if you have any further questions.

    It is the correct signature I have used to submit the form.

    Can you please share more information regarding how you would like your PDF document to be shown ?

    Looking forward for your response.
