📌 E-contracts characteristics

E-contracts must be in PDF format.
Make sure there is enough line space in your text, so you'll be more comfortable when adding fields and eSignature placeholders.
You can use the Merge fields to prepopulate e-contracts with data captured through a Clustdoc form

📌 Available fields for an e-contract

- eSignature placeholders: You can either place eSignature blocks in your document to collect signatures from stakeholders, or sign it right away
