Create a PDF Electronic Signature in 4 Minutes with Drime

Let's now move on to the practical aspects with our detailed guide to create a PDF electronic signature in just 4 minutes. The Drime platform remarkably simplifies this process through its intuitive interface and advanced features.

1. Upload your PDF to Drime

The essential first step is importing your document to the Drime platform. Here's how to do it simply:

• Log in to your account on app.drime.cloud (you can create a free account if you don't already have one)

• Access your personal storage space

• Click the "Import" button or use the drag-and-drop function to upload your PDF file.

Drime accepts all standard PDF formats and instantly provides you with 20 GB of free storage. Unlike other platforms, your document is automatically encrypted upon upload using AES 256-bit technology, ensuring maximum security.

Moreover, if your PDF requires modifications before signing, Drime allows you to make them directly on the platform. You can adjust text, add comments, or even delete elements without needing additional tools.

2. Access the Signature Tool

Once your document is uploaded, you need to access the signature tool:

1. Go to https://app.drime.cloud/sign

2. Click the green "Auto sign" button in the interface

3. Select the PDF you just uploaded from your available documents

Note that Drime also offers the "Get signatures" option if you need others to sign the document. This feature is particularly useful for contracts requiring multiple signatures.

After selecting your document, it will be added to your PDF list. To proceed, locate your document in the list and click the pen icon on the far right of the corresponding row.

Unlike Adobe Acrobat Reader, which sometimes requires complex manipulations, Drime directs you immediately to the signature interface without intermediate steps, saving you valuable time.

3. Add Your Signature (Draw, Import, or Type)

In the signature interface, you can now personalize your document by adding different elements:

• Use the "drag-and-drop" function to position fields like Signature, Date, Email, or Name

• To create your signature, you have three options:

  • Draw: use your mouse or touchscreen to draw your signature

  • Import: upload an image of your existing signature (PNG, JPG, or SVG formats)

  • Type: enter your name to generate a stylized signature

Drime also allows you to add other information such as your initials, company stamp, or additional text fields according to your needs. All these elements can be easily resized and repositioned to perfectly fit your document.

Unlike solutions like DocuSign, Drime lets you see in real-time how your signature integrates into the document, giving you complete control over the final result.

4. Finalize and Retrieve Your Signed Document

After placing and customizing all necessary elements on your document, you're ready to complete the process:

1. Click the "Create" button to validate the placement of your elements.

2. Confirm by clicking "Signature" to permanently apply your signature to the document.

As soon as the signature is confirmed, Drime automatically generates a signed version of your PDF. The signed document offers several advantages:

• It is instantly saved in your Drime storage space.

• A copy is sent to your email address for external archiving.

• It includes metadata certifying the signature's authenticity.

• It can be easily shared with other users through built-in sharing features.

Additionally, Drime maintains a complete history of modifications and signatures for 30 days in the free plan and up to 120 days in professional plans, allowing you to precisely track each document's journey.

Unlike other market solutions, Drime doesn't just offer a simple signature tool but integrates this functionality into a complete collaborative document management ecosystem. You can not only sign your PDFs but also store, edit, share, and track their usage (number of views, downloads) within a single platform.

The Drime solution adapts to all needs with different plans:

• Free version with 20 GB storage and 3 signature requests.

• Essentials plan at €5.50/month with 2 TB and unlimited signatures.

• Professional plan at €10.99/month for medium-sized teams.

• Advanced option at €19.99/month for large teams with 100 members.

With this simple and effective method, creating a PDF electronic signature becomes accessible to everyone, whether you're an individual occasionally handling administrative documents or a business dealing with important contracts daily.
