Legal Validity

Whether you choose to type, draw, or upload your signature, all styles provided by Systweak eSign carry the same legal validity and enforceability under global e-signature laws.

  • Selected Style (Typed): Choose from a variety of pre-generated cursive fonts that match your name. This is the fastest and most common method.
  • Drawn: Use your mouse, trackpad, or touch screen to draw your actual handwritten signature.
  • Uploaded: Upload a scanned image of your wet-ink signature for a personalized touch.

Choosing or Creating Your Signature

When you first open a document and navigate to a required signature field, you will be prompted to create or select your identity.

  1. Click on any yellow Sign tag within the document.
  2. The "Adopt Your Signature" dialog box will appear.
  3. Verify that your Full Name and Initials are spelled correctly in the top fields.
  4. Navigate between the tabs at the top of the dialog to explore styles:
    • Click Select Style to browse font variations.
    • Click Draw to use the signature pad.
    • Click Upload to choose a file from your computer.

Applying the Signature to the Document

Once you have selected a style that suits your preference, you are ready to apply it to the document.
