Why does my signer need an email?
Emails help Anvil identify and verify individual signers. We also use email addresses in order to send e-signature requests to signers once a Workflow submission has been completed, as well as sending all signers a copy of their signed documents once the signing is completed. Even if your PDF does not have an email field to be filled, you can add an unconnected field to your webform that will collect your user’s email address for e-signature and notification purposes without being present on any resulting PDF documents.
