Frequently asked questions

How do I sign a PDF without printing?

Expand or collapse accordion

If you want to skip printing, signing, and scanning a document, you can do it all using eSignature from Dropbox Sign. Upload your document, sign it, and send it to the intended recipient. You also have the option to send your document out with a signature request if you need someone else (or several people) to sign the PDF.

How can I create a fillable PDF online without printing?

Expand or collapse accordion

When considering how to create a fillable PDF, Dropbox Sign should be your first port of call. eSignature technology makes it fast and easy to create a fillable PDF, with no printing involved whatsoever. Upload the document, then drag and drop text boxes to the appropriate locations on your PDF to begin filling in your information. You can also format using date boxes and check boxes.

How should I send my eSigned PDF?

Expand or collapse accordion

Signed PDFs can be sent directly from eSignature, downloaded and attached to an email or with our fax service, Dropbox Fax.

Can I use Preview or Word instead of an eSignature service to eSign a PDF?

Expand or collapse accordion

Using software such as Preview or Word to sign your PDF is not considered a secure method of eSigning. Even though you can paste an image of your signature from a scanned image to get a similar-looking result to an eSignature, these programs don’t provide the security protections that eSignature services such as Dropbox Sign do.

How does Dropbox Sign make a PDF document fillable?

Expand or collapse accordion

Dropbox Sign makes a PDF document fillable by allowing users to drag text boxes wherever you need them. This includes signature, initials, date signed, text, and checkboxes. When it comes to making a PDF document fillable, Dropbox Sign makes it easy to add what you want, where you want, helping you to get PDF documents completed and signed by all parties in a matter of clicks.

‍

Does adding an electronic signature to a PDF make it legally binding?

Expand or collapse accordion

Electronic signatures from Dropbox Sign are legally binding under the ESIGN act of 2000. By having a non-editable audit trail affixed to every eSignature request, each action is fully tracked and time-stamped. When you add an electronic signature to a PDF, rest assured that you are creating a legally binding agreement with the same legal standing as a traditional pen and paper alternative.
