HOW DO YOU E-SIGN A PDF DOCUMENT?

Choose a File to Sign & Send for Signature

Choose the document you want to upload and prepare for an electronic signature online. Upload the document from a specific file folder from your computer, or simply drag & drop your PDF file from your desktop. You can also browse for a PDF document saved on your computer that you want to use to gather online signatures with, or sign documents from a cloud storage system like Google Drive or Dropbox, to electronically sign documents using Soda PDF Online.

Set Signer Details

Once you upload your document, the next step is to register the signer's name, email address, and to determine the signing process attached to your document. Indicate where signatures are required online on your document or where to add their electronic signatures to your PDF documents by placing fields around your file.

Send for Signature

Once you've prepared your PDF for signature using our online tool and are ready to send the document, you have then essentially indicated to your signees the intent to sign this document and are requesting for them to have signatures added to your document.

Sign and Download

Your signers will then each receive an email requesting their electronic signatures. They can click the link and proceed to review the document. Signers can set up their electronic signature then e-sign the document. Once all requested electronic signatures have been applied, the signed PDF document will be available for download.

DID YOU KNOW?

Electronic signatures explained

E-signatures are a legally binding way to capture the approval of multiple parties. These types of signings are part of the Esign Act that was passed by Congress and adopted in the United States for an electronic record for contracts or agreements that need to be facilitated between foreign or interstate commerce. Today, electronic signings have never been more popular. Unlike digital signatures, which hold no legal terms or power whatsoever, electronic signatures are legally-binding and hold the same weight as a handwritten signature on a paper contract or agreement would.

Signing electronically is safe & secure

Our intelligent e sign tool uses the sender’s and signer’s email addresses to authenticate e signatures for any PDF sign document. The only way to access and sign e-sign packages is through your personal email access, which ensures that only the designated signer or signers can view, edit, and add their signature to the files. Our secure technology establishes an encrypted link between our web server and your browser so that all data remains private. We only store each file on our server for 24 hours to limit any unauthorized access.

The e-sign PDF signatures & files are then permanently removed from our PDF online servers. As the sender of a document, your permissions will differ from those of the signer. In the PDF sign process, signers only have the ability to add their signature to the document, senders are given administrative permissions and access to the documents, which allows them to create, edit, review, and track any signature for their documents. All e sign files are made available to users through the Soda PDF inbox.

The difference between e-signatures & digital signatures

A digital signature might be used to approve or reject documents internally, but an e-signature is primarily used by a business or an individual as a legal signature solution for when they or every required signee cannot directly be in the same room or location. Whether to approve contracts, sales forms, agreements, or to save time and increase productivity, our software can help provide you and your signees with an electronic signature experience that keeps a safe distance between people and paper.
