Get Signature Field List operation

Returns a list of all the signature fields located within a PDF document. You can retrieve the names of all the signature fields in a PDF document for signing or certifying.

For example, your application must use the LiveCycle Server to sign signature fields on the PDF form, however, you do not know the names of the signature fields. You use the Get Signature Field List operation to retrieve the list of signature fields from the PDF form. You get the name of the signature field to sign from the list.
