Request a signature on a PDF

Hi there! Welcome to Elite Mail Suite. Let's share a document with more control, then prepare it for signing.

Sending a proposal is only the start of the conversation. A tracked document link helps you share the right version, choose how it can be accessed, and see which pages receive attention.

Let's open Files and documents, choose Tracked documents, and open the Atlas proposal. Preview the PDF first, so you know exactly what your recipient will see. Check the page order and readability before creating a link.

Show the page thumbnails and choose page two. Page thumbnails make a longer proposal easier to navigate. Now use the zoom controls for a closer look. Use the document zoom when you need to inspect small text; this changes your preview, not the original file.

Choose Create link to share, and give your link a name. Create a named link for this particular share. Turn off downloads, add a watermark, then create the link. Turning downloads off removes that option from the viewer; a watermark adds a visible reminder, without guaranteeing that a copy cannot be made.

Copy your new viewer link. Send the viewer link when you want this controlled reading experience. Attaching the original PDF instead gives the recipient a separate file.

Now check Maya's existing session: the pages viewed, and the time spent on each. Page views and time spent give you useful context for the next conversation. They are engagement signals, so ask about the proposal rather than assuming that a long view means approval.

For signing, choose one person, upload your PDF, and enter the signer. For a signature, prepare a separate signing request. Apply the starting layout, position the signature field, then add a note before sending. Check the signer, place the field on the correct line, and review your note before sending the request.

You've seen how to control a document link and prepare signature fields. Open the linked PDF guide for more detail. Thanks for watching!
