When the last person signs, the document is completed and sealed: the signatures and filled-in fields are drawn onto a copy of your PDF, and that signed copy is fixed so any later change can be detected.
Get the signed PDF
- Everyone on the document is emailed the signed PDF when it completes.
- You can also open the document from Documents and, under Files, select Signed PDF + certificate (on Business) or Signed PDF.
What the certificate page shows (Business plan)
- A last page is added to the signed PDF with the document's audit trail: who signed, in which role, when, with their email and IP address.
- It carries a verification code and a QR code. Anyone holding the PDF can use them to check it's genuine.
Good to know
- The original PDF you uploaded is never modified. You can always download it under Files, Original PDF.
- On the Free and Personal plans the signed PDF has no certificate page, but the audit trail is still kept and shown on the document's page.
