Can I use pdfFiller to generate a legally binding signature in any country?

Generally, pdfFiller’s signature builder lets create signatures that are intended to be legally binding in many jurisdictions around the globe. The platform adheres to international eSignature laws, such as the ESIGN Act and UETA. However, the correct use of this type of document completion can vary across different countries. It’s always a good idea to double-check the local regulations.

How does your Signature font generator guarantee the validity of eSignatures?

With our signature creator, you get a comprehensive audit trail and a service that lets capture the time and identity of the individual who executed the signature. In addition, it endorses each signature with a “Verified by pdfFiller” seal, confirming its authenticity. This seal can only be taken off by the signatory alone.

How does pdfFiller’s signature generator caters to users who traditionally use a seal?

For users in countries where seals are common, such as in some Asian countries, pdfFiller’s signature generator allows for uploading an image of the seal and converting it, or you can use one of the tools that lets draw the sign they need.

What if I need to use a different signature in pdfFiller?

You can easily make a new signature and update it in pdfFiller’s editor by choosing from the available options: input your name and transform it to a stylized signature, draw one with a mouse or touchscreen, turn the photo of your physical signature into a digital format, add one via QR code, text, or email. All signatures you generate within pdfFiller will be available whenever you need to complete a document.

Are there any document types that cannot be signed using pdfFiller’s Signature font generator?

pdfFiller is flexible in supporting a wide range of document types, but it's essential to take into account the fact that some documents come with particular legal stipulations that extend beyond the realm of eSignatures. Examples of these include but are not limited to, contracts such as leases and legal documents like wills. In these cases, the traditional method of wet-ink signatures may be the only lawful method of endorsement, as per legal requirements.

Can I sign forms in pdfFiller even if I don't have an account?

To sign documents with pdfFiller, you'll need to create an account to save and apply your eAutograph. However, if you distribute documents for signing, your recipients aren’t required to have one. You can register for a free trial to test how the pdfFiller Signature font generator works. If you need any help setting up your account, please contact our support team.

I love PDFFiller, but I know I won't be using it often. I wish you guys have pay-per-use option instead of paying for a whole year. If not for this very important court doc I'm filling out, I won't even consider paying for a whole year.

I would recommend, with caveats about the cost based on how much it would be used. Many government forms and other PDFs are already fillable, so PDFfiller isn't needed that often for the average person. However, it was very nice to use.

I am a self represented defendant in a small claims case. I cannot afford an attorney. With the robust capabilities, and plenty of time on my hands, I can plow through the case law and ca civil codes, but I can't readily find and fill out forms. PDFfiller has the forms I need and does a credible job of filling them out.

The program did not function as I anticipated, but after I played around with it, I realized it was still a useful tool. I am a Licensed Counselor and this is a great tool used to communicate and transmit sensitive information online. I highly recommend to others!

I was extremely happy with PDFFiller until I took an entire 2 hours worth of notes on a pdf and the website froze when I tried to save it. And then lost it all with no recovery option.

This is a lifesaver This program has made such a difference. We use it to edit our PDF documents online all the time. Great! The learning curve was steep but we are now over it and everything is working fine. Just remember to save your docs frequently.
