To sign a document in PDF or even in DOC (that is automatically converted to PDF during the signing process to avoid edits and changes), you might think you have to print it, sign the document, scan it, and send it back.
Fortunately, there is a simple, quicker, affordable, and better alternative: QuickSigner.
QuickSigner makes it simple, quick, and affordable to digitally sign PDF and DOC documents while preserving the documents’ security.
What is an Electronic Signature?
eSignatures, digital signatures or electronic signatures, are a digital symbol or data attached to an electronic document, that are replacing handwritten signatures. Often, eSignatures resemble an image of a handwritten signature.
Why Use an Electronic Signature?
Using an electronic signature saves time, money and is more environmentally friendly. Instead of printing, signing, scanning, and sending a paper document back, you can sign it electronically in moments and return it immediately. This can be done on a laptop, PC, tablet, or mobile device from wherever you are.

Do I Need a Digital Signature?
While “digital signature” and “electronic signature” are often used interchangeably, they differ. A digital signature is a type of electronic signature that uses encryption for added security. In most cases, simple electronic signatures suffice, but digital signatures provide an extra layer of verification. QuickSigner uses the PadES international standard for advanced signatures.
Are Electronic Signatures Legal?
Yes, electronic signatures are legal and binding for most business transactions. QuickSigner’s eSignature complies with the UK’s Electronic Communications Act 2000, the EU’s eIDAS regulation, and the US’s ESIGN Act and UETA.
