How can I sign a PDF with just my finger?

For those who prefer to handle deals while on the go, airSlate SignNow offers an intuitive app. You can upload any PDF and sign it with your finger by drawing on the screen. Your eSignature is legally-binding, so you can close deals via your smartphone from anywhere.

What counts as an electronic signature?

Any symbol on a document can be considered an electronic signature if the signer has confirmed their intention to sign a document and do business digitally. But more importantly, the signature must be associated with the signer. In airSlate SignNow, you can take advantage of the Document History feature and, if necessary, check who and when eSigned your PDF.

How can I sign a page and combine it with another PDF?

It is not difficult to sign one page and then combine it with another, but you face the risk of making your document invalid. In short, an eSignature confirms that a person got acquainted and agreed with the contents inside a PDF before signing it. To combine separate documents after signing can be seen as voiding an electronic signature. What that means is when merging, you create a new document that loses all the timestamps and IP addresses of its originals, turning the legally-binding signature into a simple picture attached to the document. airSlate SignNow’s Document History keeps records of all changes taken to a particular file. What you should do for a more streamlined, time-effective experience while negotiating on contracts is Merge documents in airSlate SignNow before you sign them or send them for signing.
