How do I create tables in Papersign?

This article is for the eSignature product, Papersign. Paperform (our web form builder) does not currently offer built-in tables, but there are a couple of alternatives for Paperform users.

Tables are a useful way to display and organize information on agreement documents. In Papersign, they can be added to original pages.

New tables cannot be created on uploaded PDF pages, but you can arrange fillable fields and text blocks on PDFs to fit them into any existing tables on the original document.

Adding a new table

On an original/editable page, click the + icon to the left of the page, then scroll down to select "Table" in the "Content" section. As a shortcut, simply type /table onto a blank line and then hit the enter/return key.

Click any cell to add text. You can also add fields and images using the + menu or slash commands, just as you would anywhere else in the editor.

Configuring tables

Columns and rows

Columns can be resized by clicking and dragging the vertical border lines.

Row heights depend on the content inside of them. The height will also stretch to fit any images in a cell, and you can resize the image to make the entire row taller. (If you're unable to make the image any larger, you may need to widen the column first.)

Right-click to add or delete a column or row, or to delete the entire table.

Border and background colors

Highlighting a cell or its contents will bring up the formatting bar. To select multiple cells, simply click and drag from one cell to the next.

The bar includes two special options when used in tables:

• The fill icon is used to set the background color of the selected cells.
• The pencil icon is used to set the border color. Make sure all cells are selected if you'd like to change the borders for the entire table.
