Private by design
Your files are opened and processed by your browser on this device. They are never uploaded to openWorkstand or anyone else, so the Sign PDF is safe for contracts, IDs, photos and work documents, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. How local processing works
Good to know
- This is a simple electronic signature. Some documents legally require a certified digital signature or a witness.
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first with Unlock PDF (you need the password).
When to use the Sign PDF
- Sign a rental agreement without printing it.
- Approve an invoice or a purchase order.
- Add your initials to every page of a contract.
Examples
Initials on every page
Some contracts ask for initials on each page. Add a text box with your initials (or type them as a signature), place it on the first page, then repeat on each page in the same corner before saving.
Troubleshooting
My signature looks thin or shaky
Drawing with a finger on a phone or a stylus usually looks more natural than a mouse. You can also type your name in a handwriting style, or upload a photo of a signature made with a dark pen on white paper.
The file does not open
Check that it is one of the supported formats above and opens in another app. Damaged files and password-protected PDFs cannot be read until they are repaired or unlocked.
It is slow or stops on a very large file
Everything runs on your device, so speed depends on its memory. Close other tabs, use a computer rather than a phone, or split the file into smaller parts first.
The download did not start
Look for your browser’s download bar or icon. Some browsers ask once before a site may download files; allow it and click the button again.
