Formidable Forms Digital Signatures - Electronic Signatures for WordPress Forms

Formidable Forms Digital Signatures is an extension that allows you to add a signature field to forms created using the Formidable Forms creator. The plugin allows you to collect "draw-to-sign" signatures (drawing with your finger or mouse), typed signatures, and save them as image files or embed them in generated PDF documents. Integration with existing forms allows you to conveniently add signatures to recruitment processes, procurement processes, GDPR consents, and online contracts.

Key Features of Formidable Forms Digital Signatures

• Interactive signature area – touch and mouse support, scaling, and undo/redo capabilities.
• Various signature modes – drawn signature, typed signature with automatic conversion to graphics, and a field for entering initials.
• Saving the signature in form entries and as an image file (PNG/SVG) in the media library.
• PDF generation with embedded signature – automatically create documents ready for archiving or sending.
• Possibility to attach a timestamp, IP address and additional identification fields to the entry to facilitate verification.
• Integration with form logic – display the signature field only where required.
• Configurable mandatory fields and validation – force a signature before submitting the form.
• Possibility to collect multiple signatures in one form (e.g. signature of the client and company representative).
• Responsive interface and minimal impact on site performance.

Benefits of use

Implementing Formidable Forms Digital Signatures streamlines processes requiring identity and consent confirmation. Collecting signatures directly in the form eliminates the need to print and scan documents, speeds up customer service, and reduces administrative costs. Automatically saving signatures in PDF documents simplifies archiving and emailing of signed contracts. Features such as timestamping and IP registration increase the credibility of registered signatures and simplify recordkeeping.

Example applications

• Sales contracts and orders – quickly sign order confirmations without printing.
• Medical consents and registration forms - patient signature contactless on the registration device.
• HR documents – acceptance of regulations, annexes and employment contracts during onboarding.
• Marketing consent and GDPR – recording informed user consent with identifying metadata.
• Applications and legal documentation – quick signing of applications, requests and authorizations.

Integration and configuration

Formidable Forms Digital Signatures integrates directly with the Formidable Forms field editor. Upon installation, it adds a new "Signature" field that can be dragged into any form. Configuration includes validation settings, file formats (images, SVG), PDF generation parameters, and metadata storage options (timestamp, IP). Additional settings allow you to style the signature field and customize user messaging.

Security and Compliance

The plugin focuses on securely storing signatures and metadata within the WordPress environment. Using an SSL certificate on your site and regular database and file backups is recommended. Formidable Forms Digital Signatures supports the collection of data required for auditing and signature verification, facilitating compliance with internal procedures and privacy policies.

Formidable Forms Digital Signatures is a solution for organizations and website owners who need a simple, secure, and integrated way to collect electronic signatures within their existing WordPress forms. With flexible configuration options and a responsive interface, the plugin suits a variety of business scenarios, streamlining document workflows and minimizing paperwork time.
