Question 1

What does 'eSign' actually mean?

Accepted Answer

'eSign' is shorthand for 'electronically sign' — applying a signature to a digital document without printing it. Under ESIGN and UETA, an eSignature is any electronic symbol applied with intent to sign, and it carries the same legal weight as a pen signature.

Question 2

How do I eSign a PDF on iPhone?

Accepted Answer

Open Safari, go to eSign Services, drop the PDF into the upload area, and sign with your finger. iOS handles the file picker natively — no app install needed.

Question 3

How do I eSign a PDF on Android?

Accepted Answer

Same flow as iPhone: open Chrome, drop the PDF into eSign Services, sign with your finger, save the result. Everything runs in the mobile browser.

Question 4

Do I need Adobe to eSign a PDF?

Accepted Answer

No. Adobe Reader works for offline self-signing on a single machine, but it can't send a document to someone else and it doesn't produce a full audit certificate. A browser tool handles both cases.

Question 5

Is an eSigned PDF legally binding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in the U.S. and most of the world. Every eSign Services document includes a tamper-evident audit trail — timestamp, IP address, signer identity, and consent record — which is what makes it enforceable in court.
