Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a date in Adobe Fill and Sign.

‍

Here is a simple and quick, step-by-step guide on how to add date in Adobe fill and sign:

‍

Open the document where you want to add a date, then click the 'Text Box' located in the left sidebar.
Select 'Type Text' so signers can enter the required information.
Click the area of the document where you want to insert the text box for date.
Manually type the date.
Click the capital letter 'A' to increase the size of the date, then reposition it so it appears clearly within the document.

📌 Why this matters

Adding dates to your documents creates a permanent timestamp that proves when agreements were signed or forms were completed. This becomes crucial during audits, legal disputes, or compliance reviews where you need to demonstrate timeline accuracy.

Beyond simple record-keeping, dated documents establish a clear chronological sequence of events, protecting both parties in business transactions. When you manually insert dates rather than relying on automatic timestamps, you maintain control over the official date, which might differ from when the document was actually processed.
