With computers and smartphones, it is now possible to digitally sign a received document and send it via email or obtain the signature of a document without having to print it and without using pens.
Getting the signature means asking someone to open the document saved on the internet and sign it, without even having to send it via email.
Once signed, the person asking for the signature can download it or print it according to the use it has to make of it.
This is completely legal and quite simple to do using one of the services like Hellosign, the best app for signing documents from PC and smartphone.
The only problem with HelloSign is the limitation of the free account, which allows you to sign a maximum of 3 documents per month.
So let's find out how to put the signature on a sheet from the Windows PC, Mac, Android or iPhone with a perfect free online service to request and obtain the signature .
First of all, we have seen that it is possible to put our signature on a free PDF, using some programs which in summary are:
- On Windows PC with Adobe Reader, pressing the " Compile and sign " button in the right pane.
- On Mac you can use the Preview program and then use the signature button in the Toolbox.
- On iPhone and iPad and on Android smartphones it is possible to use Adobe Fill And Sign applications.
On any device, you can instead obtain the signature of an electronic or digital document using the SignRequest site, which, for the moment, is completely free.
This site is similar to DocuSign and allows you to ask for signature from other people on any document.
The people to whom the signature is requested do not have to access the site or create an account, but can simply open and sign the document.
Those who request it will be notified of the signature of the others and even if they have downloaded the document.
NOTE: The signature we are talking about in this case is the electronic one, not the digital one.
A digital signature is secure and verified with an encryption key, but it is very complicated.
The electronic signature is, instead, an image of our signature made in pen which is superimposed on a PDF document.
This can be done with any type of application and even if it is not really secure, it is the one that is requested most often.
For example, if we have to sign the adhesion to something or a contract or a document to be sent to our accountant or our lawyer, we can put the electronic signature and then call the person to warn him, confirming by voice the authenticity of the signature .
There are now many companies that accept signed documents sent by email rather than forcing people to fax them.
To request the signature of a document using SignRequest, open the site and log in with a Google account.
In the main interface you can upload PDF, JPG or other formats.
Then specify the email contacts to which you want to send these documents to get the signature.
Press the button to prepare the document and select the area where the signatures are to be placed.
Once you have specified the parts of the sheet where the signature is to be written, send it with an email request.
The contacts who receive the document can open the link attached to the email, open it on the SignRequest website and then insert the electronic signature.
Those who sent the documents will have to do is open the SignRequest website and download the signed file.
