Not the easiest to figure out initially, and detailed instructions are a bit hard to come by, but it seems to do what I need it to do to make signable forms and merged PDF's.

Great tool for conversions Converting PDFs to spread sheets can be time consuming. This software is very functional, and eliminates the hassle. I like being able to convert my PDFs into the proper documents for further use. Most PDFs in their original form are totally unusable. I use this function to convert the document into a spread sheet. Great time saver. Nothing so far. Seems to be easy to use and very convenient.

This morning my subscription to PdfFiller was automatically renewed. Once I realized it, I notified the company to cancel my subscription and to provide a refund. Within a short time, I received a response confirming that the subscription was canceled and that the charge was reversed. I would definitely recommend this company and would use them again if I had a need.TL

FAQs

Yes. Loans closed through the remote online notarization process can include either wet-ink signed promissory Notes (i.e. non-eMortgages) or electronically signed Notes (i.e. eMortgages). Sellers can deliver loans with electronically signed Notes, only if they are approved to deliver eMortgages.
The endorsement is a written clause in the promissory note, by which the endorser or assignor (promissory note holder), by means of his signature and stamp, transmits to a third party or assignee (endorsee), all the rights derived from it, becoming from that same instant in obligatory change.
For example, if both sides want the loan to be paid off more quickly, they can add an addendum to the promissory note and change those terms. Changes are as binding as the original note, but they should be done in a formal way — both parties will have to sign the document again.
We conclude that there is no prohibition against electronically signing promissory notes. However, given the absence of express support in law, we recommend promissory notes be signed in “wet ink” to minimize any potential risk regarding their validity and enforceability.
