The e-signature request workflow is a streamlined process that allows you to create signing links for documents efficiently.

One of the key benefits is that recipients do not need a pdfFiller account to sign the documents, which simplifies the process significantly. By avoiding the complexity often associated with competing solutions, you can focus on getting your documents signed quickly and easily.
How to Upload Documents for Signing
To upload documents for e-signature, you have several convenient methods at your disposal. You can upload directly from your device storage, ensuring that your important files are readily accessible.

The system supports various file formats, including PDF and DOCX, making it versatile for different document types.
Assigning Signature and Form Fields
To add signature fields to your documents, switch to Add Fields mode within the app. This feature allows you to assign fields to specific recipients, ensuring that each signer knows where to sign. The drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to position the fields accurately, giving you complete control over the document layout. This user-friendly approach minimizes the chances of complex field assignments that could confuse recipients.
Adding and Managing Recipients
Adding signers and viewers to your document is straightforward. You can add recipients by entering their email addresses, which streamlines the process of gathering signatures. Each recipient can be assigned a specific role, either as a Signer or Viewer, clarifying their responsibilities. Additionally, you can configure the signing order, ensuring that documents are signed in the correct sequence, which is crucial for maintaining workflow integrity.
Configuring Signing Order
Setting up the signing order for documents is essential for effective workflows. You can choose between sequential and parallel signing methods, depending on your needs.
