Adding Documents

OneSpan Sign supports the following document types:

• Adobe's Portable Document Format (*.pdf) — PDFs on which OneSpan Sign can act generally have at least these permissions enabled: (1) Changing the Document; (2) Signing; (3) Filling of form fields.

• Microsoft Word (*.doc or *.docx)

• Open Office (*.odt)

• Text (*.txt)

• Rich Text Format (*.rtf)

In addition, the OneSpan Sign Print Driver supports any document that can be printed from a Windows-based application (e.g., Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint).

File Size Constraints

• The maximum size of a single document is 16 MB. Smaller documents yield better performance — we recommend under 5 MB per document.

• If your organization uses Salesforce or Microsoft SharePoint connectors, the file size maximum is 5 MB per document.

• If your organization uses Salesforce connectors, the maximum number of documents that can be added to a transaction is ten (10).

• If you enable email delivery while configuring a recipient, attachments larger than 5 MB are not supported.

File Name Constraints

• Document file names should not contain any of the following comma-separated characters: *, /, \, :, <, >, |, ?, ".

• A document's name cannot contain the string esigned.

General File Constraints

• We recommend that you do not use PDF documents that make use of XML Forms Architecture. For more information, see XFA Support.

• Do not upload password-protected or corrupted documents. These will generate an error.

• OneSpan strongly recommends that you scan a PDF for syntax errors (e.g., by using Adobe's Preflight tool), and resolve any errors before you add the document to a transaction.

• PDFs with the NeedAppearances flag set to true are not currently supported.

You must save a package before you can add a document to it.
