6.Select the Show sign date in signature line check box to show the date.

7.Select the Show signer's title in signature line check box to show the title.

NOTE: Because the owner of the document assigns suggested signers to his or her document, if the Show sign date in signature line and/or Show signer's title in signature line check boxes are not selected, the suggested signer will not be able to display the date and/or title in the signature line even if the suggested signer's document settings are configured to do so.

8.Click OK.

The signature line will be shown according to the settings specified by the owner of the document.
