    Hi, above mentioned smart service will take a template which is designed in Acrobat Reader DC. In above mentioned smart service under template field, you have to pass the same PDF document. I hope that will help you.

    Happy Coding!

    PDF and Word replacements work completely differently.  Which are you actually trying to use here?

    Using "###variable###" style replacement fields is only for the Word and Text "from template" smart services.  The PDF smart service actually utilizes fillable fields.  You must design your PDF with fillable fields and use the smart service to populate those - when the template is scanned it will find any fillable fields in the PDF and show them to you in the smart service interface.
