Take control over your DataSource. Write your own SOQL's and use the full power of Salesforce.com. Use GROUP BY, AVG/SUM/MIN/MAX/.., LIMIT, complex WHERE clauses, ...

Some cases you have a process that the number of signers is dynamic. For instance, depending on the amount of the opportunity, a flow, trigger or process builder will add a 2nd signer.
Important to know is that the signature placeholder numbering must start with 1 and cannot skip numbers. So use the PDF Butler magic to set the correct numbers if required. "#SIG0[[!YOUR_NUMBER!]]_200_200".
Want to wait for the confirmation the Sign Request is created or just fire and forget? The last one is the best for user experience, super fast and all processing happens in the background.
Launching the Sign Request via a Process Builder requires a Silent launch.
Silent: Use Actionable class "cadmus_sign.Actionable_SignButlerSilent".
Non-Silent: Use Actionable class "cadmus_sign.Actionable_SignButler".
