# Google Drive: get where a document must be signed

Automatically get where a document must be signed on docs.google.com. Read a Google Docs / Drive eSignature request without signing: who sent it, each signer and whether they have signed, and every field each signer must fill (signature, initials, date, name or text), with its page number and its position on the page (left, top, right, bottom as fractions of the page width and height, from the top-left corner). Text fields also come with their id (pass it to sign_document), the sender's hint, and the value once signed. Says which fields are for the signed-in account. Takes the PDF link from list_signature_requests or the request email. Refuses when the file has no signature request. When the browser is signed in to several Google accounts, pass the account to act as.
