The first time I needed to sign a PDF electronically, I had just gotten my lease for my new apartment. I didn’t know that I could securely and legally sign documents online. But a friend recommended http://www.pdffiller.com , an online software that enables users to sign, edit and modify PDF documents easily online. I decided to do some of my own research before starting http://www.pdffiller.com I started looking at other online solutions. I checked out Adobe Reader, but it doesn’t allow you to edit PDFs and Adobe Acrobat pro costs $499. I continued my search and found less expensive software, but it required an installation. I did not want to install the program just to use it once and let it take up space in my drive. I did find a few online solutions but they were short on features. http://www.PDFfiller.com seemed to be the best option for me. On http://www.PDFfiller.com I can upload PDFs, docs, and powerpoints, and modify, edit and sign them all online. I only needed five minutes to upload, edit and send the PDF file to the leasing office. I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with you in any case you end up facing the same problem. This slideshare includes some basic comparisons of solutions to the problem of modifying and filling out forms and documents online.
2. Types of signatures
Digital signature E-signature
The term digital signature refers to the
encryption / decryption technology
used as the foundation for a variety of
security, e-business and e-commerce
products
“An electronic sound, symbol,
or process attached to, or associated with,
a contract or other record and adopted by
a person with the intent to sign a record.”
3. Today technology empowers those who want to expediently close legally
compliant business deals; customers can sign on the “virtual dotted line” in
the blink of an eye.
It s easier to Sign using E-signatures
4. E-SIGN Act
The Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce
Act (“E-Signature Act”) became
effective in the US on October
1, 2000.
The 1999/93/EC Directive on
Electronic Signatures was signed
in December 1999
to establish a common
framework for electronic
signatures
7. Improve sales performance and reduced revenue cycle: shorten contract signature
cycles from weeks to days or even hours. Sales reps can sign customers while on the phone,
increasing closing rates dramatically; in addition streamlined visibility across the sales, and finance
departments also improves operational efficiency.
Improve compliance and governance: thousands of employees can sign on-boarding
documents, performance plans, benefits and T&E requests in minutes; laggards are easily spotted
and are sent reminders reducing the risk of non-compliance.
Channel efficiency: reduce the operational overhead to manage hundreds or
thousands of partners with secure e-signatures for certification and training documents, partner
program agreements, requests for market development funds (MDF) documents, and non-
disclosure agreements.
