Questions? Answers.
Do I need a PDF editor to use SignMaster?
No. Upload any PDF, or scan paper with your phone, and SignMaster turns it into a contract ready to sign. Alana, the AI assistant, can place the signature boxes and fill the fields for you to review.
How does the free trial work?
Every new workspace gets 14 days of Crew, no card required. When the trial ends you drop to Free unless you pick a plan, and nothing you've sent stops working.
Are signatures legally binding?
Yes. SignMaster follows the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA: every signer consents to sign electronically, and each completed document comes with a certificate and a timestamped audit trail.
Where do the Adobe Acrobat Sign figures come from?
From Adobe's own pricing page and help pages, read on October 9, 2026, at list price in US dollars. Prices and plans change, so check Adobe's site for the latest before you decide.
