Propper Sign adds AI field detection to speed up PDF setup

PropperDocs has launched Suggest Fields in Propper Sign, a free AI-assisted feature that scans uploaded PDFs and proposes signatures, dates, text, and choice fields for sender review. The company says the tool cuts manual prep time while keeping the sender in control, and it is available now to Propper Sign customers.

Why it matters: - Suggest Fields turns document prep from manual field placement into a review workflow. - The feature is designed to reduce the time needed to prepare agreements, especially longer forms with many fields. - Propper says the tool adds no extra charge, so teams can use AI-assisted setup without buying separate credits.

What happened: - PropperDocs, Inc. announced general availability of Suggest Fields in Propper Sign on September 22, 2026. - The feature has been available to customers since September 10. - Suggest Fields scans an uploaded PDF and proposes signature, initials, date, printed name, editable text, checkbox, and Yes/No choice fields. - The feature is live for Propper Sign customers today.

The details: - In the Prepare step, senders click Suggest Fields. - Each finding appears as a numbered box on the document and as a row in a side panel grouped by field type. - Senders can accept a row, accept a group, correct the field type from a dropdown, dismiss an incorrect finding, or add all remaining fields at once. - On mobile, the review panel opens as a sheet from the bottom of the screen. - Nothing is added to an agreement until the sender accepts it. - There is no setting that skips review. - The model does not assign recipients. - Senders choose the signer. - Accepted suggestions become standard Propper Sign fields that can be moved, resized, deleted, or undone as a batch. - The existing field palette remains unchanged. - Organizations that do not want AI features can request that Suggest Fields be disabled. - Analysis runs on a temporary copy of the uploaded PDF using Google Gemini. - Responses are constrained to structured field types, coordinates, and choice groups, then validated by Propper before display. - The uploaded document is not modified. - Unaccepted suggestions are never written to the saved agreement. - Google Cloud Platform is a listed subprocessor in Propper’s data processing agreement. - Suggest Fields supports unlocked draft agreements owned by the sender. - The feature works with PDFs up to 20 pages and 10 MB. - Agreements prepared with Suggest Fields cost the same as agreements tagged by hand under Propper’s pay-per-completed-document pricing. - There are no separate AI credits to purchase. - The Business plan is free for 14 days with no credit card and includes unlimited users and full API access. - More information is available in Propper Sign.

Between the lines: - Propper is positioning the feature as sender-controlled automation, not full auto-tagging. - That approach may help reduce review risk for organizations that want AI assistance without giving up approval authority. - The pricing setup removes a common barrier to trying AI features because there is no added usage fee. - The data-handling language suggests Propper is trying to reassure customers about document integrity and model output validation.

What's next: - Propper Sign customers can use Suggest Fields now. - Organizations that want to avoid AI features can ask Propper to disable the feature. - The Business plan trial gives new users a low-friction way to test the workflow before paying.

The bottom line: - Propper Sign is adding AI help where e-signature users spend the most time, but keeps the final say with the sender.
