What's the definition of an electronic signature?

An electronic signature is an electronic symbol or process attached to a document, indicating a person's intent to agree to its contents. You can create eSignatures using a multitude of methods, such as entering your name, taking a picture of a handwritten signature, or using a specialized online tool, such as Consolas.

Are electronic signatures legal?

In a lot of countries across the world, including those in North America and Europe, like the USA, UK, and EU, eSignatures are valid. They are governed by various laws, such as ESIGN in the United States, eIDAS in the European Union, and UETA. However, it's important to ensure their validity with local legal authorities.

How do you generate your own eSignature?

You can use the Consolas to generate a signature. It allows you to type it directly, draw it using a mouse or touch screen, or import a picture of your handwritten signature. You also have the option to capture it with a web camera or through links sent to your mobile device via text or email. Another handy functionality is to scan a QR code and add a signature with your finger on a mobile screen. After adding your signature with any of these features, save it to complete documents electronically.

What is a suitable font to use for a signature?

Selecting a font comes down to your personal taste and the degree of officialness needed for the document you are completing. However, you should always keep clarity and compatibility in mind when picking a font. It’s recommended to go for web-safe fonts like Arial, Helvetica, or Lucida, pre-installed on most devices. Also, if you're willing to achieve a more traditional handwritten look, try incorporating a cursive font.

Is it allowed to create signatures with the Consolas?

Yes. pdfFiller guarantees the security of your signature generated with the Consolas through many layers of protection. It utilized 256-bit encryption, both for storing data and during transfers. In addition, password protection for documents, an audit trail of document activity, and two-factor authentication for signers make the transmission and storage of your signature highly secure.

ecame aware of PDFFiller in March 2018 and learning how to use. Would like to attend the Webinar ASAP. I cannot open a document because you asked for a pin code sent to me by email. I have not received any pan please re-sand pin code.

I like the service overall. The only improvement I could think of would be to work harder on Google integration with Authentication and Chrome apps. They usually work but it's frustrating when they don't work well.

I have trouble using the pdffiller on my laptop, I can not upload b/c the screen is not wide enough to get to the click button. I can on my desktop when I go into the office. Sometimes the app does not give me the ability to save or download - I have to play with it back in forth before it will save as a fillable file. But my biggest issue is using my laptop when I work remotely and I have to use it. Thanks for inquiry and the survey to give me the opportunity to voice a concern.

Fabulous for filling out any forms online, especially when online applications are not quite right, you can line up any type of print in the boxes to look professional, even check mark in boxes!
