Signing and Exchanging e-Contracts 

» Upload contract forms (available at our online store, or your own forms) to a secure platform like Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, edit/ fill-out and send for the other party’s signature. You can request the receiving party to sign either with an electronic signature or a certificate-based digital signature to suit your document security requirements and in terms of the governing law of the contract.

 

» When the signer clicks the digital signature space on the contract form, he/she will be prompted to sign it using a digital certificate which is previously obtained and installed in the desktop or mobile device. A document signed with a valid digital signature is guaranteed not to have been changed since being signed.

​

 (Acrobat DC’s features “Fill & Sign” and “Certificates” available under the “Tools” tab enable signing a document with an electronic or digital signature respectively.)
