Signed Forms Now Render Correctly in PDF Exports

We’ve resolved an issue where form signatures weren’t displaying properly in PDF exports. Previously, some downloaded forms would show a placeholder like [signature] instead of the actual signature. This has now been fully fixed.

Now, every exported PDF includes:

  1. check

    Visible signatures that match the on-screen or printed version

  2. check

    Improved formatting with cleaner vertical layout

  3. check

    Upgraded font rendering with enhanced Unicode support

  4. check

    Cleaner form responses with edge case fixes (e.g., hidden empty fields)

This means your downloadable forms—especially those used for contracts, consents, or verifications—retain their full visual and legal clarity.

Why It Matters

If your team depends on signed forms, this update ensures:

  • Legal compliance with fully visible signatures
  • Professional presentation of all exported documents
  • Consistent formatting across viewing platforms (print, web, PDF)
  • Confidence in digital workflows like onboarding, quoting, and approvals

Whether you're using Whippy’s form automation features to streamline signatures, contracts, or data collection, this upgrade guarantees that what your clients sign is what they see—and what you store.
