FieldMDPOptionSpec

A complex data type that represents the PDF document fields that are locked after an associated signature field is signed. Any changes to the locked fields after the signature field is signed invalidate the signature.

This data type is used in the Add Invisible Signature Field operation operation provided by the Signature service.

For information about data that can be accessed using Xpath Expressions, see Data items.

For information about configuring default properties, see Datatype specific settings.
