Add legally binding electronic signatures.
Printing, signing, scanning, and emailing contracts is a thing of the past. Electronic signatures (e-Signatures) are faster, easier, and legally binding in most jurisdictions (including Canada and the US).
This guide explains how to add a secure signature to your PDF document.
Electronic vs. Digital Signatures
- Electronic Signature (Standard): An image of your signature placed on the document. Valid for most business contracts, leases, and agreements.
- Digital Signature (Advanced): Uses cryptographic certificates to prove identity and ensure the document hasn't been tampered with. Required for government forms and high-security contracts.
How to Sign Online
- Draw: Use your mouse or trackpad to draw your signature.
- Type: Type your name and choose a "handwriting" font style.
- Upload: Upload a photo of your wet-ink signature.
Once you create your signature, you can drag and drop it onto the signature line of any PDF.
