Send it. Sign it. Sealed.

Autessa Document Signing is e-signature software built into Autessa. You upload a document, choose who signs and in what order, drag signature fields onto the pages and send it; signers sign in the browser from an emailed link, and the finished PDF is sealed with PAdES digital signatures, a Certificate of Completion and a tamper-evident audit trail.

Yes. Autessa Document Signing is free with every Autessa account, for unlimited users and unlimited envelopes: everyone on your team can send, with no per-seat fees and no envelope limits. You pay only for AI tasks.

Yes. Upload a document, add signers and fields, and send it the same day, with sealing, the audit trail and the Certificate of Completion built in. From there you tailor it to how your company works in Autessa: templates and roles, signing order, folders and automations that send and file envelopes for you.

No. Signers get an emailed link and sign in the browser with no account, app or password. The link itself is the credential: a single-use, high-entropy token that Autessa stores only as a hash.

Yes. Autessa accepts PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, plain text, HTML, Pages, Outlook .msg and image files (PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, HEIC) up to 25 MB, and converts anything that is not already a PDF on upload. What signers see and what gets sealed is the converted PDF.

Yes. Choose One at a time and only signer slot 1 is invited on send; when they finish, slot 2 is invited automatically, and so on. Choose Everyone at once and all signers are invited together.

Every signature is embedded as a PAdES-B-T digital signature with an RFC 3161 trusted timestamp, so any change after signing is detectable in any standard PDF reader. The envelope also keeps SHA-256 hashes of the original, prefilled and sealed PDFs and a cryptographically chained audit trail with a Chain verified badge.

Autessa’s signing flow is built around what electronic signature laws such as the US ESIGN Act and UETA look for: each signer consents to electronic records and signatures, confirms who they are before submitting, and every action is recorded on the audit trail and summarized in a Certificate of Completion. Whether a particular document can be signed electronically depends on its type and jurisdiction, so check with your counsel for regulated documents.

Yes. Add them as a Viewer. Viewers get a read-only copy when you send, a progress copy marked not yet fully executed after each signature, and the sealed document when everyone has signed. They never hold up completion.

Yes. A template holds a document set, a field layout and named roles such as Client and Provider, plus the signing order, completion policy and viewer roles. To send, click Use template and assign a person to each role.

Yes. In the web app, Send reminder emails everyone outstanding and Resend link emails one person. For scheduled chasing, a scheduled script can call the reminder action through the AutessaScript SDK or the API. You can also have an agent call or email a signer who has not signed.

Yes. The Autessa Poweruser API and the AutessaScript SDK (autessa.eSignature) create, send, remind, void and download envelopes and work with templates and folders. Apps you build on Autessa can embed signing with the PdfSigner component, and the Autessa CLI can list, inspect and file envelopes.

Open the envelope and use Direct link. You get a link per recipient that opens straight into signing, and one envelope-level link where whoever opens it enters their email to reach their own slot. Paste either into a chat, a text or a calendar invite.

For teams that want signing order, client groups, CC viewers, templates, direct links and PAdES-sealed PDFs in the same place as their CRM, HR, files and apps, Autessa Document Signing is a strong alternative. It is built into Autessa, so contracts sit next to the rest of your work.
