Can't select check boxes or signature fields using stylus

Hello,

I’m currently using WebViewer 8.10.0 in our application and wanted to see how I could get the stylus (Pen) to work with certain types of forms fields like check boxes and signatures? When using the stylus and tapping on Sign Here I can’t get anything to happen. Same goes for check boxes. Is there a specific setting that I need to enable? I’ve already enabled stylus support via calling documentViewer.enableStylusMode() but that didn’t improve anything. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Hi Caleb,

Thanks for contacting support. I have confirmed on our end that a stylus click won’t trigger opening the signature field. I will investigate this further and let you know what I find.

Hi Zach, thanks for the update. This issue isn’t that critical so we can work around for now. Please do let me known when a new build is available so I can try out on our end to see if stylus tapping starts to work on signature fields and check boxes.
