Tips
- Need someone else to sign? On the Sign PDF page, choose to send it for signature instead. You get signing order, reminders, and a Certificate of Completion.
- Select an item and press Delete to remove it.
- Signing on a phone? Drawing with your finger works well.
Questions
- Is a signature added this way legally valid?
- In the US and many other countries an electronic signature is valid for most documents. For a signer audit trail, send it for signature, which records every step and adds a Certificate of Completion.
- Is my signature saved anywhere?
- No. It stays on your device and is only drawn into the PDF you download.
