Sign a PDF: common questions

Is this a legally binding signature?

It's a signature you draw onto the page, like signing a printed copy and scanning it. It isn't a certified digital signature with an identity check. Whether a signed PDF is accepted is up to whoever asked for it, so check with them if you're not sure.

Is my signature saved anywhere?

No. It exists only in this browser tab while you work, and it's gone when you close the page. The PDF is never uploaded.

Can I fill in the form fields too?

Not in this free version: it adds a signature, text and the date. The Deskshed app fills in forms, adds initials and your name, redacts and organizes pages.
