Adobe should take notes from PDFFILLER I like that it's web based which allows me to use it on any computer without having special software installed. Nothing too bad but sometimes the converter feature would hang when I was converting large documents.

What does it take for an eSignature to be legal?

An eSignature is considered valid if the person signing clearly consents to sign and make transactions online, there's a comprehensive record of who made changes to the document (known as an audit trail), and all parties can access and save the executed document for other needs.

Is there a difference between digital and electronic signatures?

Each type serves different needs based on security and practicality. Digital signatures employ complex encryption for industries requiring high security, while eSignatures suffice for everyday business, provided they meet legal standards.
