How to Sign a PDF document online?
1 Open a PDF to Sign or Send to Signers
Choose the document you want to upload and prepare to e-sign online for free*. Upload the document from a specific folder on your computer, or simply drag & drop directly from your desktop. You can even get documents from a cloud storage system like Google Drive or Dropbox to electronically sign documents using Soda PDF Online.
2 Set Signer Details
Once you upload your document, the next step is to create a signature and apply your signature to the PDF. Or, you can choose to include additional signers to your document. Fill out your signer's details by providing their first name, last name, and email address. Next, indicate where these signatures are required in your PDF by placing either your signature or their signature field anywhere on your PDF.
3 Send for Signature
Once you've prepared your PDF document using our online tool, your signers will receive an email to apply their signatures to your document. Once you click "Send", your signers will then each receive an email with instructions for adding their electronic signatures to the document, click the link, and proceed to review the document. Your signers will then create & add their signatures to the document.
4 Sign and Download
You will need to wait until each signer has signed the PDF file before it can be available for download. You may also track or send reminders to your signers by creating your own Soda PDF account. Once all parties sign and fill in their esignatures, you will receive an email informing you that the signing process is complete along with a link to download your signed PDF. Select Download File to retrieve your file. Enjoyed using our Sign PDF online tool? Be sure to share your experience with others on social media!

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.
