With Jotform Sign, you can turn your existing PDFs into e-sign documents and collect signatures from your clients with ease. Once uploaded, you can add fillable fields, assign signer roles, and automate the signing process through email or by sharing a link—making document management faster and more efficient.

Uploading a PDF to Jotform Sign only takes a few steps. Here’s how to get started:

On your Workspace page, click on Create on the top-left side of the screen.

Note

You can upload multiple documents at once. Jotform Sign will automatically merge them into a single signable document, and you can rearrange or remove files before creating it.

Once your PDF has been uploaded, click on Create Signable Document.
