What is the difference between PDF Mavericks and DocuSign?
DocuSign provides tracked, audited signature workflows for business contracts. PDF Mavericks lets you add a signature directly to any PDF for free — ideal for personal documents, forms, and agreements that don't need enterprise audit trails.
Is a free electronic signature legally valid?
Yes. The cost of the tool doesn't affect the legal validity of the signature. Electronic signatures are recognised under the ESIGN Act (US), eIDAS (EU), and equivalent laws globally.
Can I add initials as well as a full signature?
Yes. Use the signature tool to create a separate initials block — type or draw your initials and place them on the relevant pages.
