User in Legal Services

What do you like best?

It was hard to find a service that offered unlimited uploadable templates PDFs that I could tailor edit for each client for a reasonable price. Some services did not allow you to edit your uploaded templates, some had a limited number of templates you could upload, and others were too expensive for something that's pretty basic in nature.

Administrator in Construction

What do you like best?

airSlate SignNow has simplified the process of getting documents signed and returned to us by our vendors, subcontractors and others. We've found the app simple to use and have gotten positive feedback from those receiving our invites; along with the ease of using the app on mobile devices. I feel their website does a good job laying out the features each package offers. Where we did have questions on certain features or capabilities we found the live chat to be responsive and helpful. Also, it is nice that they held a recent webinar for users to attend. Our business is project oriented so we like that invites/documents can be archived in unique folders. Unlimited invites leave the possibilities open for other uses for us.

How can I have someone sign on a PDF file?

When you need to get documents signed, send them to the recipient from airSlate SignNow. Upload a PDF/DOCX/image to the service, add fillable fields for text and signatures, and use the Invite to Sign function. Your recipient doesn't need to have an account. They will receive an email notification and get access to the file. When the signer finishes signing the PDFs, you both get signed copies of the document. If you want to raise the security level, on the step of indicating recipients, click Advanced options, add additional authentication: a password, phone call, or SMS. When you get the signed PDF, export the file with History.
