What's the difference between “Share” and “Sent”

pdfFiller's Share feature allows up to 10 users to collaborate on the same document. SendToSign allows you to request a signature from up to 20 recipients, with the option of receiving a unique copy of each signed document, or all signatures on a single document (signed in serial or parallel). A pdfFiller account is required to access and edit a shared document, and one will be created for any collaborators or signers that do not already have one when you send your invitation or signature request.

What is Sent? When do I use it?

SendToSign allows you to request digital signatures on any document from up to 20 other people. You have the option to request a unique copy of the signed document for each signature with SendToEach, or request all signatures on a single document with SendToGroup (professional plan or higher required). Business plan subscribers also have the option to choose the order in which SendToGroup recipients sign a document with Sign in Order.

How does SendtoSign work?

When creating your SendToSign signature request you can choose to send up to 20 unique signature requests with SendToEach, or request up to 20 signatures on a single document with SendToGroup (professional plan or higher required). Business plan subscribers also have the option to choose the order in which SendToGroup recipients sign a document with Sign in Order. We'll send your recipients an email with a direct link to the document, and a copy will appear in current pdfFiller users' Signature Requested folder. A pdfFiller account is required to access the document, and we'll create and include login credentials to a free account for recipients that do not already have one. Recipients will be able to sign and return the document for free with pdfFiller.

Can I try SendtoSign myself before sending a document to my client?

You won't be able to send a document to the email address you are sending from with Sent, but you may send documents to another email address you own. Just be sure to use a different browser to retrieve and sign the document with the secondary account, or log out of your original account in your primary browser before attempting to retrieve and sign.

How can I retrieve the filled and signed document that I sent with Sent?

We'll email you notification when the document has been signed, and you can also check the document's status or view the document in the SendToSign History folder, located inside the Scent [and History] folder in Forms.

Can I request multiple signatures?

Yes! With Sent, you can request up to 20 signatures at a time, per document. You can also use SendtoSign as many times as you would like for any document.

Do my SendtoSign recipients have to be pdfFiller subscribers?

Recipients are not required to have an existing pdfFiller account for you to request a signature with SendToSign. However, if a recipient does not have an account, we will create a free pdfFiller account for them and provide them with login credentials automatically.

So far great! Just wish we had more options on auto-page numbering. If your document has a cover or a forward like a book, those are pages you don't want numbers on.

I love the program. I could wish it had some other features for editing the existing documents but for what I generally need (real estate forms) it is fantastic!

Does what I need, completing the use of PDF government forms that are professional and easier to complete, greatly aiding in their correct processing.

If you work in the legal field purchase this software.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
The biggest problem that PDFfiller has done for me is that it allows me to edit protected pdf files. One of the greatest benefits is that .pdf saves all of my work for me.

You can do absolutely everything you… You can do absolutely everything you need to do with a pdf! And it is nowhere near the cost of Adobe subscriptions.

Not your fault Not your fault, but I need my "original signature" on the form for the form to be accepted. I was sooo excited that, during this whole COVID-19 isolation I could get this document notarized here! Ugh... Ridiculous. I may try it anyway as the delay in getting this done the way their website says they want it will be more ridiculous after my quarantine....hmmmm
