Amazing software except for the licensing. I just want to pay for when I need it. For a business the month to month is great, but for a single time user it is a bit tougher.

What do you like best?
Ease of use! Very intuitive program that does NOT require a lot of training to use.
What do you dislike?
I use the program infrequently in my present roll, so was surprised by the page lay-out change. It was a bit more difficult to simply pick it up and understand the new format.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I use PDFfiller for city and county land-use applications. Having the ability to complete these varying forms simply, and have them stored for future use is invaluable!

Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

What is the legal status of a digital signature or e-signature?

Electronic signatures have the same legal status as handwritten signatures throughout the United States, thanks to the DESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (BETA).

What is the difference between an electronic signature and a digital signature?

The only difference is that an electronic signature is digitized, but it is also used to verify a document. On the other hand, it can be observed that a digital signature comprises unique features such as fingerprint that are used to secure a particular document.

Is digital signature legally valid?

Digital signature or standard electronic signature is actually a coded, encrypted, legally binding digital footprint. The digital signature is made of unique encoded messages one for each signee that join together to make a complete, legally binding, standard electronically signed document.

Does signature have to match legal name?

No, you do not have to use your legal name as your signature. That is your choice. At the same time, your bank and your employer do not have to accept your “custom" signature if they do not want to. That is their choice.

Are digital signatures enforceable?

Simply put, yes, digital signatures are valid and enforceable. As long as certain requirements are met, they have the same legal effect as their written equivalents. Like a traditionally signed contract, one of the most important elements of validity is the signing party's intent to be bound.

Is a digital signature valid on a contract?

Simply put, yes, digital signatures are valid and enforceable. As long as certain requirements are met, they have the same legal effect as their written equivalents. Like a traditionally signed contract, one of the most important elements of validity is the signing party's intent to be bound.

Do banks accept digital signatures?

It should be noted that both are accepted and used in many companies and organizations, but the digital signature offers a higher level of security; Therefore, many banks and financial entities are little by little incorporating it among their technologies.
