Box Sign - Make PDF form fields fillable
Box Sign does not currently recognize embedded PDF form fields. You can add a text, date, checkbox, or signature field to a PDF document, but the original form fields are unavailable (but left intact).
Use case: We ask our contractors to complete IRS W-9 forms using the standard IRS fillable PDF forms. If Box Sign could recognize the embedded fields in the IRS forms, our contractors could fill out, sign, and file the forms in one process. As it is, we will have to send them the fillable PDF form, ask them to fill it in and send it to us, and then send it the filled form back to them for signature.

With the limitations on fields within BOX Sign, this is greatly needed.

Excellent idea as this would help equate the features that competitor products offer.

We find that Box Sign is rather "skinny" and lacking in full basic features, as found in Adobe or DocuSign...and it takes 5x longer to prepare a sign request! We need the ability to create/upload a form-fillable type template with the fields already set up and ready for the recipient to complete,,
