Frequently Asked Questions
- Is an electronic signature legally binding?
- In many jurisdictions, electronic signatures carry the same legal weight as handwritten ones under laws like the U.S. ESIGN Act and the EU eIDAS regulation. However, for highly regulated documents (wills, notarized forms), check your local requirements.
- Is it secure to sign a PDF online?
- Yes. Breezy PDF processes everything locally in your browser. Your file and signature never leave your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.
- What devices can I use to sign a PDF?
- Any device with a modern browser works — desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. On touch devices, draw your signature with your finger; on desktop, use your mouse or trackpad.
- Can I choose where the signature appears on the page?
- Currently, the signature is placed at the bottom-center of your selected page at a natural size. This is the most common placement for signed documents.
Sign Documents Without Printing
The print-sign-scan workflow is outdated. It wastes paper, requires hardware, and takes far longer than it should. Modern electronic signatures let you sign a PDF in seconds — draw your signature with a mouse or finger, place it on the document, and download the result. No printer, no scanner, no hassle.
Legal Validity of Electronic Signatures
In the United States, the ESIGN Act establishes that electronic signatures are legally valid for most transactions. The EU's eIDAS Regulation provides a similar framework. A drawn signature on a PDF is legally admissible and cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic. Exceptions exist for certain documents like wills and notarized forms — check your jurisdiction's requirements for those.
Privacy Advantage
Cloud-based signing services like DocuSign and Adobe Sign upload your document to their servers. For a simple signature on a lease, permission form, or contract, that means trusting a third party with your data for a task that can be done locally. Breezy PDF processes everything in your browser — your document and signature never leave your device. After signing, you can compress the signed PDF for emailing, or add a watermark like "SIGNED" or "CONFIDENTIAL" to mark the document's status.
