How your files are handled
Encrypted on the way in
Your file travels between your browser and our servers over a TLS-encrypted connection.
Encrypted where it sits
Uploaded files are stored encrypted — everything written to our storage gets 256-bit AES.
Gone when you delete it
Delete a file from your dashboard and it is erased immediately and permanently, with no backup copy kept.

What you can do with the contract
How to edit and sign a contract PDF
Upload the contract
Drop in the PDF. A Word draft is converted to PDF first, so the version you were sent is fine.
Update the details
Retype a figure, a name or a date that is already in the contract, or type new text where something is missing.
Cover anything that must go
If a term has to disappear rather than change, cover it and type the agreed wording on top.
Read the changed clauses again
Check each edit in context — a retyped figure that contradicts a clause elsewhere is the failure mode worth catching here.
Place your signature and date
Add your own signature where the contract asks for it and type the date.
Download or share it
Save the signed PDF, then pass it on so the other party can sign their own copy.
Contract details you can complete
- Party names and registered addresses
- Effective and expiry dates
- Scope of work or deliverables
- Fees, rates and payment terms
- Notice and termination periods
- Confidentiality terms
- Governing-law clause details
- Schedules and annex references
- Signature, name and date blocks
Why finish it here
Work on the contract you were sent
Editing the original PDF keeps the agreed wording, clause numbering and formatting intact.
One pass instead of three
Edit, sign and download in a single session rather than emailing a marked-up draft back and forth.
No printer, no scanner
The signature goes on the page directly, so nothing depends on printing the contract out.
Change a term right up to signing
Everything stays editable until you place your signature and save.
A clean signed copy to file
Download the finished PDF and archive that one version.
Used by contract managers, consultants, freelancers and business owners handling their own agreements.
How editing and signing a contract works
- You edit the text already in the contract, add dates, and place your own signature.
- You sign your copy and download it. Share the file and the other party signs theirs.
- Signatures are drawn or typed marks placed on the page.
- If a contract already carries a digital signature, work on a copy and have the result re-signed.
- Covering hides a term visually; it does not remove the text from the file.
- PDF27 is a document editor. For legal questions, check with a qualified professional.
