What does it take for an electronic signature to be legal?

An eSignature is considered valid if the person signing clearly consents to sign and conduct transactions online, there's a comprehensive record of who applied changes to the document (known as an audit trail), and all parties can access and save the executed document for other needs.

Is there a distinction between digital and electronic signatures?

Each type serves different needs based on security and convenience. Digital signatures employ complex encryption for industries requiring high security, while eSignatures are sufficient for everyday business, provided they comply with legal requirements.

I was please to see that I could edit my spreadsheet. I would suggest that once a work or set of numbers are highlighted that the program automatically is able to identify the font and size of the writing. Otherwise I was very pleased.

What do you like best?
I can sign paperwork, make changes and do it all without a printer wherever I am in the world.
What do you dislike?
There are some some glitches with the program.. for example to save a document you first have to make a duplicate of it. Also, I thought there was a way to re-number pages but that feature seems to be gone?
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great program overall and affordable. I would definitely recommend it.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Super simple to use. There are only a few things that could use some tweaking like the sizing of the box for the fillable text could be a little simple to make smaller.

Overall I'm satisfied Overall I'm satisfied, however, the edit tool is giving me some trouble. While I can edit, my corrections are not being saved :0(

Great service. I thought my subscription had expired but the tech support hooked me back up in a jiffy! I prefer to use PDFfiller program rather than the Acrobat Reader DC program. I will always renew my subscription in the future.
