Common Mistakes & Pro Tips
Ensure your signature looks professional and legitimate.
✗
Using low-quality signature photos
Uploading a dark, pixelated photo of your wet signature ripped from an old envelope looks terrible. Take a fresh photo with bright lighting or just draw it on your touchscreen.
⚠️
Signing in an unnatural color
While we allow color customization, legal contracts mandate dark or royal blue (to mimic ink) or standard black. Never submit corporate documents signed in lime green.
✓
Pro tip: Lock the file post-signature
After signing a contract, immediately run the file through our Protect PDF tool. Setting a modification password prevents the counterparty from deleting your signature.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I safely sign a PDF online?
Upload your document to GenZDoc. Draw your signature using your mouse or touchscreen, place it on the signature line, and click download. It takes seconds.
What signature methods are available?
We offer three methods: freehand drawing with a mouse or finger, typing your name in cursive script fonts, or uploading a high-res image of your ink signature.
Is an e-signature legally binding?
Generally, yes. Electronic signatures are legally recognized under laws like the ESIGN Act in the US. However, always consult legal counsel for highly regulated documents like wills.
Will my signature upload to your servers?
No. The drawing canvas and your uploaded PDF are rendered entirely within your local browser memory. Nothing is sent to our servers.
Can I reuse my signature later?
For privacy reasons, we do not store your signature in a database between sessions. If you are signing multiple documents today, keep the tab open.
Can I add a digital date stamp?
Yes! Along with signing, you can use the text tool to type the current date and place it adjacent to your digital signature.
Can I sign multiple pages in one document?
Absolutely. You can scroll through standard 20+ page lease agreements and stamp your signature at the bottom of every single required page.
