Preparing Legal Contracts for Digital Signing
Law firms prepare contracts that multiple parties need to review and sign electronically. The documents must be formatted correctly, pages must be in order, and the final file must be optimized for digital signature platforms like DocuSign or Adobe Sign.
Workflow
- Draft the contract in Word and export as PDF
- Use the PDF Page Organizer to verify page order, add signature pages, and insert exhibit markers
- Use PDF Compression to ensure the file uploads smoothly to the e-signature platform
- Use PDF Metadata Editor to set the document title and parties for tracking
- Upload to the e-signature platform and configure signing fields
- Distribute to all parties for review and execution
