E-Signature in Forms: Sign While You Submit
An e-signature in a form lets the person sign at the moment they submit, without a separate signing step. The signature is captured with the data and embedded into a PDF of the submission.
When in-form signatures fit
- Consents, waivers and acknowledgements.
- Applications and registrations.
- Service and delivery confirmations on site.
- Simple single-signer agreements.
When to use a separate signing step
- Several parties must sign in order.
- The document is long and must be reviewed first.
- Your organization requires a specific signing provider.
How it works
- The form includes a signature field.
- On submit, the signature and data are stored.
- A PDF is generated with the signature embedded.
- The PDF is emailed and stored, and records are updated.
