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

An eSignature is recognized as legal if the person signing clearly consents to sign and make transactions online, there's a clear record of who made changes to the document (known as an audit trail), and all parties can download and keep the executed document for other needs.

Is there a distinction between digital and electronic signatures?

Well it seems to work OK but I am not thrilled about the price, I haven't used it that much but for anybody that does a lot of form applications it seems like a goods program to have.

Answer to my prayers. TurboTax, IRS, other www sites gave me horrors. I started your site one day and somehow decided to leave and why I decided to go back to those other sites again was a HUGE mistake ... it all gave me horrors. I prayed again this morning and low and behold, your site was simple as apples to apples. I gave God the biggest smile and thank you for solving my nightmare to fill out the contractors 1099-misc for 2016. Late I am and was because of my health, and the contractor didn't sign the W-9 form which I had waited for which he finally emailed it to me. One question here with this form finished, do you send IRs their copy or do I need to do it myself? Pls respond a.s.a.p., I want to send it today if I need to do this. Thanks, Janet Mac Neal

I was disappointed with the services I purchased, but PDF filler made it right and refunded my money. I appreciate how attentive they were to my needs and what I was looking for.

PDF FIller was an answer to many questions. Our business is an industrial maintenance business. We have had to use PDF filler several times with applications and insurance documents. PDF filler made it easier. We liked how they explained everything we needed to know to fill in applications and other papers online without having to scan and download everything separately. I always thought it was my computer that was the problem, but with PDF filler, it doesn't matter what software is already on your laptop, you can work with any documents. Sometimes I would go duplicate a step in saving the document, but after a couple of documents, it was easy to figure out what I should do.

First time to become a landlord and the ease of finding the correct forms is amazing. Being able to fill in the forms one looks more professional but two saves me a lot of time. Your page is easy to navigate. Just love you guys all around. Thank you
