Chapter 11 – Signature
Foxit PDF Editor provides robust, secure and quick signature features, including
legally-binding eSignatures, ink signatures, digital signature, and DocuSign.
Foxit eSign and Ink Sign
You can sign documents with Foxit electronic signature service or ink signatures using
the tools in the Foxit eSign tab.
Foxit PDF Editor integrates with Foxit eSign, a legally-binding electronic signature
service. With a licensed account, you can perform an eSign workflow not only on the
Foxit eSign website using a web browser but also within Foxit PDF Editor directly,
which allows you to edit your documents and collect signatures with complete ease.
With Foxit eSign in Foxit PDF Editor, after logging in with a licensed account, you can
create your own signatures and electronically sign documents by placing the
signatures on PDF pages, which is as easy as signing a paper document with a pen.
You can also quickly initiate an eSign process to collect signatures from multiple
people. Without logging in with a Foxit eSign license, you can still create and place your
own signatures (i.e., ink signatures) on PDF pages.
When you electronically sign a PDF within Foxit PDF Editor, the appearance of an
applied signature/initials may include information like Signer ID and the date/time
when you signed, depending on the settings for your Foxit eSign account. In your Foxit
eSign account, you can use a set number of envelopes based on your license plan, and
one envelope will be used when you electronically sign a PDF within Foxit PDF Editor.
For more information about envelopes and Foxit eSign, you can refer to Foxit eSign
User Manual. (Tip: If you do not need the Foxit eSign service, you can disable it by selecting
the Disable Foxit eSign service option in File > Preferences > PDF Sign.)
