Get PDFs signed by others using EchoSign
You can get documents signed by others using EchoSign. EchoSign is an online service that lets users quickly sign documents in a web browser,
without requiring a digital ID. The service keeps track of the entire process.
The EchoSign service emails your signers that you'd like them to sign a document. They review and sign the document on the secure EchoSign
website. Once signed, both you and your signers receive the signed PDF in email. EchoSign stores the signed document in your account for
future reference. For more information, visit www.echosign.com.
