All you need to know about signing a PDF electronically.

Many people feel uncomfortable about editing PDF documents.

This file type is often more difficult to edit than a Word document, especially when it has to be signed or initialled. Fortunately, there are specially designed software solutions that allow PDFs to be edited quickly and easily and legally signed electronically.

What is an electronic signature?

When we think about a signature, we automatically think about a handwritten signature on a sheet of paper. By contrast, an electronic signature is created directly on a computer or smartphone. And you don’t need a special touchscreen to create one. You can create an electronic signature just by using a mouse or touchpad, but then you need to be able to insert it into your PDF document, of course. That’s when you need the right software. Electronic signatures are also sometimes called digital signatures or e-signatures.

Advantages of signing a PDF electronically

The three main advantages of signing a PDF electronically are:

1- It’s quicker

To sign a PDF without using software, you usually have to: 1/ open the PDF; 2/ print the PDF; 3/ sign the PDF by hand; 4/ scan the document. This can take quite some time, even if the printing and scanning processes go smoothly. The electronic signature process is much quicker.

2- It’s easier

Nobody likes having to print out a document just to sign it and then scan it again immediately afterwards. In the 21st century, we should be demanding new functionality that lets us sign PDFs in a single click!

3- It’s legally binding

Do you think that important administrative documents still require a handwritten signature? You can rest assured that electronic signatures are legally binding and permissible in all circumstances. In France, this has been the case since the decree issued in March 2001.

Good to know:
What if my electronic signature looks nothing like my handwritten signature?

Users often worry about not being able to reproduce their signature digitally. The fact that the use of digital signatures is regulated by a legislative decree should reassure you that it doesn’t really matter if your e-signature is not identical to its handwritten counterpart. The signature is valid and the use of digital signatures is becoming more and more commonplace.

Why use an electronic signature to sign a PDF?

It is becoming increasingly common to have to sign PDF documents. Here are some of the types of PDF documents that often require a signature:

bank documents;
contracts and other employment documents;
administrative documents for public services (family allowance, tax, social security, etc.);
written confirmations, etc.

Each time, the process of signing by hand is a laborious one. In fact, if you don’t have a printer at home or in the office, you can’t do it at all. By contrast, you can sign a document electronically on your laptop or desktop computer without any special equipment.
