How to sign a Word document

Many contracts are drafted in Word, but to sign and keep them you want a stable format. The simplest, safest way to sign a Word document is to convert it to PDF and sign that PDF.

PDF locks the content: the document doesn't change formatting or get edited by accident, and it's the standard for signed documents. From Word you can save or export as PDF in a couple of clicks.

Once it's a PDF, upload it and enter the email of whoever must sign. They sign from the browser and confirm with a code. You receive the signed document with its audit trail.

This avoids formatting issues and gives you a signed, stable, backed document, ready to file or share.
