What's an electronic signature?
An e-signature is a method used to electronically sign PDF files, often in legal, business, or personal contexts. It serves the same purpose as a handwritten signature, providing a secure and verifiable way to indicate agreement or approval on contracts, forms, and other important documents without the need for physical paperwork.
What's the difference between electronic and digital signatures?
Electronic and digital signatures are often used interchangeably. Both can be used to sign documents online, but there’s a key distinction between them.
An electronic signature is a broad term that includes any digital method of signing a document, such as typing your name, adding initials, or inserting an image of your handwritten signature, as well more complex methods that require encryption.
A digital signature specifically refers to a more secure type of electronic signature. It uses advanced encryption to verify the signer’s identity and ensure the document remains unchanged, offering an added layer of security.
With Lead PDF Editor, you can use a simple electronic signature that does not involve encryption but is still legally binding.
Should my drawn signature match the one on my passport?
