false
: A false value indicates that the document should not be locked after signing. By default, the user
is given the option of locking after signing. Again, the required flag determines whether this is a
required constraint.
auto
: Default. The auto value allows the consuming application to decide whether or not to present
the lock UI for the document and whether to honor the required flag based on the properties of the
document.
Example 5.2
Seed value: lockDocument
f = this.getField("mySigFieldName");
f.signatureSetSeedValue({lockDocument:<true/false/auto>});
//Set the setting as required
f.signatureSetSeedValue({lockDocument:<true/false/auto>, flags:0x80});

may identify the signer’s organizational affiliation or a particular task or workflow that pertains to the
signed document.
