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.

pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms

It was confusing. I had sent a rental app to a client and I didn't know where to get the reply. When the customer called me she said she was unable to send it. I eventually found it on the PDF Filler site but couldnt do anything with it. I then realized even though I thought I subscribed, I apparently did not. Found that out when I clicked "done" and suddenly the prices came up. Very confusing way to do business.

I love that I am able to correct and hold prior to sending out my file for signature. I wish I could however have a authorization statement from the Calyx Point file to use more of there forms.

I started the free trial, and my document has trouble being edited, so I hope this can be sorted. The help was quick and efficient and Kara escalated it when she knew there was a problem, so top marks there. I just hope the techie team can sort the font.

I just started using it, I would be interested in a webinar to learn more about the features. I spoke with Jason who helped me tremendously. I appreciated the time via our chat and he provided screen shots that helped as well.

Your service is awesome! Saves time and money from having to run all the way from home to Staples then fax/email important documents to the recipient. This service is easy to edit and save/email documents to the recipients. I really love your service!
