1. A method comprising:
receiving, from a first client device associated with a first user, a signature request associated with an original document file stored on a content management system, the original document file comprising an overlaid field;
generating, based on the original document file, a web adaptable fillable form that is a separate file from the original document file, the web adaptable fillable form generated to send to client devices to collect form data input for the signature request;
mapping a field within the web adaptable fillable form to the overlaid field within the original document file stored on the content management system;
providing the web adaptable fillable form to a second client device associated with a second user;
receiving, from the second client device, form data input via the field within the web adaptable fillable form; and
importing the form data into the original document file based on the mapping between the field within the web adaptable fillable form and the overlaid field corresponding to the original document file to generate a modified original document file comprising the form data.
