Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, absolutely! Our Fill & Sign PDF tool is completely free with no hidden charges, usage limits, or watermarks. You can use it as much as you need without any restrictions.
Are electronic signatures legally valid?
In most countries, including the United States (ESIGN Act), European Union (eIDAS), and many others, electronic signatures are legally binding for most documents. However, some specific documents like wills, court orders, or certain real estate transactions may require traditional signatures.
What file formats are supported?
We support standard PDF files (Portable Document Format). For signatures, you can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, or GIF images. The output is always a high-quality PDF file that's compatible with all PDF viewers and printers.
Can I edit existing text in the PDF?
Our tool is designed for adding new elements (signatures, text, dates, etc.) to existing PDFs. For editing existing text within the PDF content itself, you would need a dedicated PDF editor. However, you can add text boxes anywhere on the document to supplement existing content.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, we currently support PDF files up to 50MB. This is sufficient for most documents including multi-page contracts, forms, and reports. For larger files, consider compressing them first or splitting into multiple documents.
Step-by-Step Usage Guide
Step 1: Upload your PDF document by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping your file. The system will process and display your document instantly.
Step 2: Use the "Your Name" field to add your name to the document. Click "Add to PDF" and then drag the name element to the desired location on your document.
Step 3: Create your signature using either the "Type" or "Upload" options. For typed signatures, choose from beautiful cursive fonts. For uploaded signatures, use a clear image of your signature on a transparent background.
Step 4: Add additional elements like dates, text boxes, initials, or checkboxes using the tool buttons. Each element can be positioned precisely using drag and drop functionality.
Step 5: Use the zoom controls to get a better view of specific areas. Navigate between pages using the page controls if your document has multiple pages.
Step 6: Once all elements are positioned correctly, click "Fill & Sign PDF" to process your document. The system will embed all your elements into the PDF.
Step 7: Download your completed document by clicking the "Download PDF" button. Your file will be saved with "signed-" prefix added to the original filename.
Pro Tip: For best results with uploaded signatures, use a white background or transparent PNG file. Ensure your signature image has good contrast for clear printing and digital display.
