What is a Signable PDF, and why you may need it
pdfFiller's ability to make signable PDF files for different purposes has become a game - changer for individuals and businesses going digital. It takes just a few clicks to create fillable PDF forms and other types of documents you may need to sign and share.
How signable PDF files enhance document exchange and management
Just imagine how easy your workflow becomes for multiple parties when you can just sign PDF documents instead of printing out, signing, and sending paper copies. An electronic or digital signature is legally binding just as a handwritten signature, but the time it takes to digitally sign the document is significantly shorter.
Benefits of creating signable PDF files
Creating a PDF document that is available for multiple signers and collaborators can simplify your customer communications, telemedicine documents, legal agreements, and social surveys. With pdfFIller, creating signable PDF documents is easy and intuitive: any team member can easily create or customize the needed files.
Examples of signable PDF file usage
The need to digitally sign and send signed documents is crucial for many spheres. Here, we gathered some common examples, but of course, the complete list would be much longer.
Commercial offers
In remote collaboration, sending and signing commercial offers to collect signatures is a common practice. With pdfFIller, you can easily create a professional - looking signable PDF document with all the necessary details and fields for signatures.
Сontracts in the legal sphere
Sending legal contracts through traditional mail or in - person meetings is time - consuming and costly. You can speed up the process using signable digital documents by allowing multiple parties to securely sign and return the document electronically.
Medical forms
Telemedicine has become increasingly popular, especially during these challenging times. With pdfFIller, medical professionals can create signable PDF forms that patients can fill out and sign remotely. This not only saves time but also minimizes physical contact for safety reasons.
Event management documentation
Organizing events often involves a lot of paperwork, including registration forms. By using signable PDF files, event organizers can streamline the registration process by allowing attendees to register and sign electronically. This also allows for easy tracking of registrations and reduces the risk of lost or missing paperwork.

pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms
I just started to use PDFfiller and like the ease of completing pdfs, and logical flow of the app! Also love the send fax feature although while it seemed to work well from the desktop app, it seemed to hang when faxing from my galaxy Note 4 (just kept spinning and I had to force stop the app)-- will have to try faxing more to see if it was a device or app issue.
Up to this point I have navigated easily, however I need to learn more about each command and feature, so that I can be more efficient. a webar would be a great asset.

Took a little time to figure out how to do more than one signature on a single document, but the Support Team was helpful and patient with me as I learned.
Excellent company. Not only does the PDF Filler work great, but when I asked for the annual fee to be refunded after I neglected to cancel my subscription, it was done so immediately and graciously.
