Security Feature User Guide
false: A false value indicates that the document should not be locked after signing. By default, the user
is given the option of locking after signing. Again, the required flag determines whether this is a
required constraint.
auto: Default. The auto value allows the consuming application to decide whether or not to present
the lock UI for the document and whether to honor the required flag based on the properties of the
document.
Example 5.2
f = this.getField("mySigFieldName");
f.signatureSetSeedValue({lockDocument:<true/false/auto>});
//Set the setting as required
f.signatureSetSeedValue({lockDocument:<true/false/auto>, flags:0x80});
5.4 Forcing Signers to Use a Specific Signature Appearance
Enterprises and other structured work environments sometimes provide uses with predefined signature
appearances. These appearances are then used for specific signing purposes. For example, the appearance
may identify the signer's organizational affiliation or a particular task or workflow that pertains to the
signed document.
