Sign on Mobile
Sign documents on your mobile device using pdfFiller's easy tools.
What is the Signature Tool?
The signature tool is a user-friendly feature that allows you to sign documents directly on your mobile device. With pdfFiller, you can easily self-sign documents without the need to send them for signature from others. This tool offers various signature methods, including drawing, typing, and uploading an image of your signature. The interface is designed to be intuitive, ensuring that you can complete the signing process quickly and efficiently.
How Does This Solve Document Workflow Issues?
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) often face challenges in document workflows, such as delays in obtaining signatures and the need for physical document handling. The signature tool addresses these issues by providing a digital solution that enhances speed and efficiency. Digital signatures eliminate the need for printing and scanning, allowing you to sign documents on the go. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors associated with manual processes.

Each method is legally equivalent, ensuring that your signature holds the same validity regardless of how it is created. Drawing allows for a personal touch, typing offers customization with various font options, and uploading an image is ideal for those who prefer their handwritten signature. Each method caters to different user scenarios, making it easy for you to choose the one that fits your needs best.

It's important to note that initials hold legal validity, just like full signatures, ensuring they can be used in official documents.
Customizing Your Signature Appearance
pdfFiller allows you to customize the appearance of your signature. You can choose different colors and thicknesses to make your signature stand out. Resizing and repositioning features enable you to adjust your signature to fit perfectly within the document. Personalization is key, as it helps ensure your signature reflects your identity and style.

You can set a default signature that will automatically appear in future documents, streamlining your signing process. Reusing signatures saves time and ensures consistency across your documents, making it a valuable feature for busy professionals.
Legal Validity of Signatures
pdfFiller's signatures comply with legal standards such as ESIGN and UETA, ensuring that your e-signatures are legally binding. The legal standing of e-signatures is well-established, and having an audit trail enhances the validity of your signed documents. This compliance is crucial for businesses that require secure and verifiable signatures.
Next Steps After Signing
After signing a document, you have several options for sharing it. You can easily send the signed document via email or integrate it with other pdfFiller features for further processing. Completing the workflow by sharing signed documents enhances productivity and ensures that all parties have access to the finalized versions.
