Autessa Document Signing
Send for signature
Sending a document for signature in Autessa takes four steps: upload, recipients, fields and review. You can upload Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, Outlook .msg files or PDFs; decide whether everyone signs at once or one at a time; put several people in one slot so any one of them signs; CC viewers; drag fields onto the pages; prefill the deal terms; fix pages; and send.
In one sentence
Autessa Document Signing turns any file into a signing envelope in four steps: upload, recipients and signing order, fields, and review.
The builder saves your work between steps, refuses to send a contract with empty required clauses, and freezes the document the moment it goes out, so what people sign is exactly what you prepared.
In this area
- Parallel or sequential signing order, with numbered signer slots.
- Client groups where any one of several people signs for a party.
- Viewers who get every version automatically and never hold anything up.
- Prefilled prices, dates and logos flattened into the PDF on send.
- Delete, append, reorder and redline pages while it is a draft.

Features
Everything in send for signature
Upload any document
Autessa Document Signing accepts PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, text, HTML, Pages, Outlook .msg and image files and converts each to a PDF on upload.
Read more →Signing order
Autessa Document Signing supports parallel signing (everyone at once) and sequential signing (one at a time), where each numbered slot is invited when the one before it finishes.
Read more →Client groups (any one signs)
A client group puts several people in one signer slot so that any one of them can sign for it, and an envelope can also be set to complete on the first signature.
Read more →CC viewers
Viewers are CC recipients who never sign: Autessa emails them a read-only copy on send, a clearly marked progress copy after each signature, and the sealed document at the end.
Read more →Drag-and-drop field editor
The field editor lets you drag signature, initials, name, email, date signed, text and checkbox fields onto the document, assign each to a signer and copy them across pages.
Read more →Prefilled content
Prefilled content (static text, multi-line text, static dates and images) is filled by the sender and flattened into the PDF at send, so every signature covers it and no signer can change it.
Read more →Page editing and redlines
Before sending, you can delete pages, append a PDF addendum, reorder pages and draw red strike lines through clauses, and the document is frozen once it is sent.
Read more →Review and send
The review step summarizes the envelope, blocks the send while any required prefilled field is empty, and lets you set a custom invitation subject and note before sending.

Other areas of Document Signing
Signer experience →
Signers never create an account or install anything: they open a link, agree to sign electronically, fill their fields and sign in the browser.
Tracking and closing →
Every envelope shows exactly where it stands and ends one of three ways: it completes, you mark it executed, or you void it.
Audit trail and sealed PDFs →
Every signature is embedded in the PDF as a PAdES digital signature, so any change after signing is detectable in any standard PDF reader, not only in Autessa.
Templates →
A template is a document set plus a field layout plus named roles, so every repeat send is only a matter of choosing who signs.
Organize and share →
Envelopes are private to the sender until shared, live in as many folders as you like, and can be handed to a colleague with ownership transfer.
Developers and automation →
Everything the web app does to an envelope, your scripts, apps and back-end systems can do through the same service and the same audit trail.
