You can decide, if macro actions should be allowed to be triggered manually while a signature-set is processed. Go to eSignatureOffice's administration menu and in the "General" tab switch the option "Disable macro buttons while signing" on or off.

...

If you activate the option "Print the document" and the macro is triggered, eSignatureOffice will open the printing dialog, in which the user can select the printer to use. With the "Default printer" checkbox, the document will be sent directly to your operating system's default printer.

Save file (3)

...

  • In case you're using a XML file and you also want to keep it as XML upon saving, please activate the option "Save and upload XML if XML was opened". If this option is not activated, the document will be saved as PDF file. You can find more information about using the XML file format in eSignatureOffice here: Input-XML.
  • The second option "Show replace window" refers to the possibility to dynamically use the document's content, which will be relevant in the next paragraph "Save file as..."
    So, while this checkbox is activated and your document is scanned for your search strings, the "replace window" will show up and list all your search strings as well as their corresponding results.
  •  The third option will do as it says: It will show a status window during the saving process.


Upon choosing any of the options "Save file as..." or "Upload file..." a new dialog will open, in which you can make further settings.

Save file as

Image Modified

Here, you have the options to...

  • save the file manually: a standard "Save as..." dialog will appear when the macro is triggered

  • save the file automatically to a preset folder of your choice
  •  rename the file, either with a fixed name or one/more variables (Dynamic processing of document content). If a file name is already in use in the chosen folder, you can make eSignatureOffice automatically add numbers to the end of the name to make it unique again
  • add the "Read-only" attribut, when the file is saved
  • send an info message to a computer by providing its name or TCP/IP address and the desired message


Dynamically renaming a file when saving it

...

For both possbilities to upload files, you should consult your IT administrator or department for the correct access data and in both cases, you can use the dynamic processing of document content to rename the files after their successful upload.

Beware!

Please take note, that special characters in an URL can possibly cause problems when uploading to a server. This also includes the saving path for a FTP server.

For example when using the Dynamic processing of document content some special characters could be read from the document, which might not be allowed by the communication protocoll or which might be misinterpreted.

A good example here are slashes or backslashes, which will create subfolders when used in the saving path.

In the lower right of your macro configuration screen, you can see a list of languages available in eSignatureOffice.

Image Modified
  • This list can be used as quick access to the other languages, in order to fill in the macro text fields for the different languages. Click on the desired language and add the text to the fields, which shall be shown in the corresponding language.
     
  • As a little help, as soon as you mouse over any language, eSignatureOffice will change the colour of all text fields to red, in which customized text could be found, but which are empty. Of course, we can't check here if your entries are correct translations; we only check, if there is any text in the fields at all.
  • This way, you can be sure not to forget, for example, your confirmation dialog in any language. If you wish to exclude any language from the check, double-click it in the list and it will be displayed white instead of yellow.
