Gettingdocumentsigned, no matter what field you work in, can be a nightmare. Internal documents necessitate locating the appropriate individuals, resulting in mountains of legwork and follow-ups.

Once signed, the other party will need access to a scanner or fax machine in order to return the file to you. We're all aware that lost time equals lost money and opportunities. 

With Agrello anyone who needs to sign a PDF document can simply open an email and sign it from any device, at any time.

Why sign PDF documents online?

One of the most popular and widely used digital file format for text documents is PDF. Therefore, instead of taking a printout to sign a document and scanning it, everyone prefers to quickly and easily sign a word document online. Free online document signing for PDF offers simplicity, security, and cost effectiveness in addition to time savings. Online signatures can be easily and successfully added to PDF documents using Agrello.

The ability to sign PDF documents electronically creates a lot of new possibilities for both public institutions and for private businesses. Documents with electronic signatures allow:

  • complete transactions and contracts over the internet without an in-person meeting.
  • keep "papers" in electronic form.
  • operate with any devices even while on the go

Now, you may verify the paper without even being in the office. This is a practical choice with full legal validity given that representatives of various professions increasingly prefer working remotely and entrepreneurs cannot constantly be at the office.

You only need a device—a laptop, tablet, or smartphone—and internet connection. The partner can verify that you signed it by checking and verifying the document signatures online.
