Signing involves placing a signature that you create by drawing, typing, or uploading an image, depending on the available sign tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Electronic vs. digital signatures: what&#8217;s the difference?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An electronic signature is any electronic action, mark, or process that indicates a person&#8217;s intent to sign a document. A digital signature, on the other hand, is a more technical form of signing that uses certificate-based information and cryptographic validation to verify the signer&#8217;s identity and detect any changes made to the document. While the two terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. You can learn more about electronic signature creation in DocHub from our blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dochub.com\/blog\/how-signature-creation-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How signature creation works in PDFs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"When_should_you_fill_and_sign_PDFs_online\"><strong>When should you fill and sign PDFs online?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A combined workflow is useful whenever a form requires both completed information and a signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Employment and onboarding documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vendor agreements and purchase approvals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>School or training consent forms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sales contracts and order forms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real estate disclosures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal policy acknowledgments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Client intake forms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, an HR administrator can upload an onboarding packet, add fillable fields, complete the employer section, and send a signature request to the new employee. Meanwhile, a sales representative can enter deal information, add signature fields, and route the same document directly to the customer for signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"What_should_you_prepare_before_starting\"><strong>What should you prepare before starting?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the PDF before editing it.

A scanned PDF may not contain interactive fields, but you can add text and signature elements over the page. Check the finished file carefully because the original scan may have uneven alignment or low image quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is an account needed to fill and sign with DocHub?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The provided DocHub workflow requires a registered account. A free account can be used to upload a document, complete it, and download or print the result, subject to the current plan limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I sign PDFs from a mobile browser?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A browser-based workflow may be accessible from a mobile device, but the editing experience depends on screen size, browser support, and the complexity of the form. For documents with many form fields, a larger display may make review and placement more accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I edit a PDF after signing it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some PDF editing tools allow changes after a signature has been added. However, editing a signed document may affect its status, integrity indicators, or acceptance, so create a revised copy and collect new signatures when material changes are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does every signed PDF include an audit trail?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Audit trail availability depends on the signing platform and the workflow used. A signature placed directly on a personal copy may not produce the same supporting record as a formal signature request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I store the completed PDF in Google Drive?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DocHub supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dochub.com\/en\/integrations\/communications-software\/integrate-dochub-with-google-workspace-for-more-streamlined-document-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">integration with Google Workspace<\/a> and can import and export documents through connected Google applications.
