Love the software but a bit of a brain surgery to start with each new document. The links, steps and path for loading and working on documents need to be highlighted better for new users. Probably makes great sense to the programmer but new users have to hunt for the next link or button to click.

Does a digital signature count?

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.

Establish that any law with a signature requirement can be satisfied by an electronic signature. Allow electronically executed agreements to be presented as evidence in court. Prevent denial of validity or enforceability of an electronically signed document solely because it is in an electronic form.

How do I get an electronic signature?

In the Tools Center, select Prepare Form. Choose Select a file and browse to open the file that needs signing. Form and signature fields are automatically added.
