Nothing leaves the PC — the signature exists only in your browser and in the file you download, and Bindery has no copy of the document. If the PDF has form fields, Fill forms completes them as a checklist first and Flatten locks the answers; if the signer is someone else, Request signatures seals the document on your device and lets them sign on theirs through a link, with an audit page and a trusted timestamp on completion. For proof the file has not changed since signing, Certify adds a cryptographic signature with a key that never leaves the machine.
How it works
- Open Bindery in Edge, Chrome or Firefox and drop the PDF into Sign
- Draw or type your signature, then click where it belongs on the page
- Download the signed PDF
Questions people ask
Can I sign with a touchscreen or a pen on Windows?
Yes. The pad accepts touch and pen input as well as the mouse, and placement works with a tap. On a laptop without touch, typing your name and choosing a style produces a clean signature in seconds. Either way the signature is saved to a library in your browser for reuse.
Does this need an Adobe or Microsoft account?
No. Sign runs in the browser without any account, and the free plan covers it along with the other 46 tools — ten completed jobs per UTC day. An account only matters for Pro’s unlimited jobs or for sending signature requests to other people.
Is a drawn signature legally binding?
For most everyday paperwork a visible signature placed on the document is what the parties expect and accept. It is not a cryptographic digital signature; where tamper evidence or a certificate is required, use Certify, or a qualified provider for regulated workflows.
