Feature guides

A short guide for each core feature. If you're new, start with Getting started; come here when you want the detail on one thing.

The self-sign editor

Sign your own PDF entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our server.

  1. Open the editor and drag a PDF onto the page (or click to choose a file).
  2. Click where you want to sign, then draw, type, or upload your signature.
  3. Add any extra text, dates, or checkmarks by clicking on the page.
  4. Click Download to save the signed PDF. The signed file is produced locally and lands in your Downloads folder.

Signature requests

Send a PDF to one or more people to sign — they never need an account.

  1. Upload your PDF and place the fields each signer must fill (signature, date, text).
  2. Type each recipient's email. Multiple signers can sign in parallel.
  3. Optionally turn on an access code for an extra layer of identity checking.
  4. Send. Each recipient gets a link; you can track progress from your dashboard.

Templates

Save a document you send repeatedly so you never rebuild the fields.

  1. From any document you've prepared or sent, choose Save as template.
  2. Give it a name — the signature and text fields keep their positions.
  3. Next time, pick the template, type the recipient's email, and send in under a minute.
  4. Edit or delete a template anytime from your templates list.

Tracking & reminders

See exactly where every request stands and nudge people who haven't signed.

  1. Open a request to see its timeline: sent, viewed, signed, or declined, with timestamps.
  2. Send a reminder with one click (a fresh link is issued; the previous one is replaced).
  3. Fix a mistyped recipient email without starting over.
  4. Delete a request to revoke its links immediately.

Teams & seats

Share signing work across up to three people on the Business plan.

  1. On Business, open account settings and invite a teammate by email.
  2. The invite link works once; the teammate joins without extra setup.
  3. Team members share visibility into the team's documents.
  4. Quota and billing are counted against the account owner.

Certificate of Completion & digital seal

The evidence trail that makes a completed document defensible.

  1. Every completed signature request produces a Certificate of Completion: signer, timestamp, IP, device, and the file's SHA-256.
  2. The final PDF carries a PAdES seal, so Acrobat shows "signed and not modified".
  3. An RFC3161 timestamp records when the document was finalized.
  4. Self-signed files are plain signed PDFs and do not include these — they never touch our server.
