Is an electronic signature legally valid for business contracts?

Yes. In most jurisdictions (including the US ESIGN Act, EU eIDAS regulation, and Indian IT Act 2000 Section 10A), electronic signatures are legally binding for general commercial contracts, loan acceptances, NDAs, and employment agreements.

Can I choose which page the signature is placed on?

Yes. Use the 'Apply signature to page' selector to specify any page number (for example, page 4 of a 4-page contract) where the formal execution block appears.

Can I sign using my mobile phone or iPad?

Yes. The signing canvas is fully touch-optimized with smooth capacitive stylus and fingertip tracking, making it effortless to sign on iPhone, iPad, or Android.

Can I clear the pad and redraw my signature if I make a mistake?

Yes. Simply click 'Clear Pad' to wipe the canvas and redraw until you are completely satisfied with your signature.

Does the signature stay transparent without a white box?

Yes. The canvas automatically trims background pixels and exports an alpha-transparent PNG. Only the actual black ink strokes are stamped onto your document.

Does CrediCore add any watermark to signed documents?

No. The signed PDF is completely clean with zero watermarks, advertisements, or branding added.

Is this PDF signing tool free to use?

Yes. The tool is 100% free with no registration, no monthly fee, and no limit on the number of documents you can sign.

Technical Boundaries & Legal Guidance

Key details regarding electronic signatures vs cryptographic USB DSC tokens and legal enforceability.

Electronic Signature vs Cryptographic DSC Token

This tool applies an Electronic Signature (an embedded image of your handwritten mark). It is distinct from a Class-3 USB Cryptographic Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) issued under IT Act Section 3.

Tip:Suitable for business contracts, NDAs, internal memos, and commercial loan acceptance.

Draw Quality Depends on Input Device

Drawing a signature with a desktop mouse may feel slightly stiffer than using a finger or capacitive stylus on a touchscreen phone or iPad.

Tip:Open the tool on your mobile phone or tablet for the most natural handwritten signature flow.

Placement Coordinates Default to Lower Right

The tool positions your signature cleanly in the bottom-right corner of your chosen page where standard legal signature blocks are located.

Tip:Ensure your document has sufficient clearance in the lower-right margin.

Password-Protected Documents Must Be Unlocked

If the source PDF is encrypted, the signature stamper cannot modify page objects without prior password clearance.
