Key Features of Digital Signatures

Image and Text signatures

Add signatures to your documents by using a scanned version of your signature or entering it as text. You can use either option for extra versatility and flexibility when signing the documents digitally. This feature will allow you to easily sign your documents digitally rather than having the hassle of printing,scanning and mailing them.

Position control

It controls where every signature is placed on your PDF and you can designate any location for your signature ensuring that it's perfectly aligned. Drag the signature or use coordinates for exact placement so documents appear clean and professional.

Multiple Page Signing

This tool can sign an entire PDF document,a few pages of a PDF document or select multiple pages from a PDF document as needed. Choose All Pages,Specific Pages,Page Range,or First Page Only so only the required pages receive the signature.
