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.

I am not a computer type of person, this this is a very good program. that I was able to figure out. thank You very much. I REALLY needed your help.John L. Texas

Easiest way to send contracts We use this for business contracts in the wedding industry. At first, it was not easy to receive contracts back but with upgrading our account that has become easier. Ease of use to send out contracts for electronic filling and filing Sometimes it is confusing where the contracts end up once filled. Having to pay extra for certain capabilities isn't feasible for a small startup business

I use this software daily to mainly merge other documents into one PDF. It's very user friendly. time management and expedition of documents requiring signatures! Merge feature and being able to delete pages that I don't need. I like that I can save my agency's details on the different forms I use; rather than retyping each time. It has locked up a couple of times but once I get out and go back in it's fine. It hasn't happened in the last year so they may have done some updates to the software.

Everything is easy to use Everything is easy to use. I was having some issues faxing and got a quick response from support. Other than that great experience so far. It would be cool if I could request documents from clients where they can upload and it would go to my docs in pdf filler.

pdfFiller support - Honest and Prompt I used pdfFiller with a free trial account because I only needed a single instance use. Product worked perfectly for my needs than I cancelled the account. Later in the month my bank advised of a subscription payment!!! I contacted pdfFiller support to put my case. Result .... immediate reply from pdfFiller with refund of subscription arranged. Honest and prompt.
