HelloSign is a tool that helps you sign your PDF documents online easily. With this tool, you can sign documents, insert names, insert dates, initials and do much more on a document. Signing documents on the platform follow quite an easy process.
One concern about signing documents electronically is the skepticism of it being legally binding. HelloSign, however, prides itself as a platform, ‘trusted by millions’, that lets you append legally binding electronic signatures. The company is now owned by Dropbox after it was acquired in 2019.
