How can we remove "Textbox1" from the fields in our form via the Signatures tab?

Hi Everyone

We are trying to create a form for our customers to sign to open an account with us.  I have uploaded the form to Dropbox.  Is it possible to remove the word Textbox1 etc from the field below.  I appreciates that it disappears when they start typing however it would look better if each field was left blank.  Hope this makes sense and appreciate any help

 

  • Hi Nancy

    Have managed to find a work around this by adding several spaces in the field to trick the box into thinking there is a word present.  Form looks perfect now

    Hi SamC88,

    Form design (or whatever else you decide to upload to Dropbox as a content) is up to you. It's your design decision and nothing related to Dropbox (or any other cloud service itself). Do you have any Dropbox related question?

    Have a nice day!

    Hi Thanks for the reply.

    The form I am using needs to be completed by our customers and I used the fields below so they can complete online, sign and return. Is there another way I should be doing this please?

    Hi Nancy

     

    Textbox1 is not visible to me however when I send to the customer to complete it appears. I am using the text box which is under standard fields.  

    I am only using the signature tab for the bottom of the form the rest of the form they need to complete

    Thanks for clarifying, SamC88! One more thing I want to ask; do you wish to remove the text completely from the fields or modify it instead to something of your choice?

    I understand. In this case, I’m afraid it’s not possible to remove this completely at the moment.

     

    However, you should be able to change this from “Textbox1” to something else of your choice. 

     

    I can most definitely pass your feedback about this though to our team.

    Glad you were able to sort this out; that’s a great workaround indeed!

     

    For anything else, feel free to give me a nudge.
