Tips & Best Practices for eSigning

  • After signing and downloading, the document is typically "flattened." This merges the signature into the page to help prevent tampering.
  • Always double-check that you have placed your signature and any other information (like the date) in the correct fields before finalizing the document.
  • Keep a copy of the original, unsigned PDF for your own records before you begin the signing process.
  • For maximum authenticity, drawing your signature often looks more personal than a typed one.
