What do you like best?

I found that it is very fast in communication when each stage of eSigning is completed. Also I like the fact that the signature on the form is looking like normal signatures rather than the ones with ugly boxes like some other software.

How do I create and add an electronic signature in iWork?

What is the difference between a digital signature and an electronic signature?

An electronic signature is defined as “information in electronic form (a sign, symbol, or process), which is logically associated with other electronic information and which a person uses to sign documents”. A digital signature is a form of electronic signature that involves a person having a unique digital certificate authorized by certification authorities which they use to approve documents. Both methods of signing agreements are valid and legally binding. airSlate SignNow provides users with court-admissible eSignatures, which they can apply to their forms and contracts by typing their name, drawing their handwritten signature, or uploading an image.
