Foxit Sign

Foxit Sign is a best-of-breed, legally binding e-sign service for preparing and gathering important signed documents. Among Foxit Sign features and capabilities:

  • Full E-sign Workflow – Just upload your document, create your template, add recipients, and send.  Foxit Sign automates workflow, sends notifications, collects signatures from all recipients, and allows you to track your sign process’s progress. 
  • Create One-Time or Reusable Documents – Create one-off documents and/or reusable document templates that can be filled out and signed by a different set of recipients each time. 
  • Easy to Use – Whether from web or mobile, generating agreements and sending them out for e-signatures is quick and easy.  Foxit Sign decreases the amount of “clicks” by 30-50% when sending a document for signature.  
  • Secure – Security is the top priority when sending and receiving contracts.  Foxit Sign supports 256-bit encryption, audit trails, certified completion, control of visibility, and email authentication to ensure you stay secure at all times.
  • Legally Compliant – Foxit Sign meets regulations for eSignatures and electronic documents like UETA and ESIGN.  
  • Collaborate – No matter the location of your team members, across the office, from home, or the other side of the world – the whole team can collaborate on any document. 

Streamlined Brand

Foxit has consolidated and simplified its product naming and unified it under the Foxit Brand. For example, Foxit PhantomPDF for Mac and Foxit PhantomPDF Standard (Windows) are now both simply Foxit PDF Editor, reflecting Foxit’s capacity to deliver the same, easy-to-use and robust PDF experience across all major computing platforms, including Windows, Mac, mobile and the cloud.

“With Foxit, you can PDF anywhere on any platform. You can conduct business digitally in a way that suits you. We wanted to convey that simplicity and universal experience in our new branding,” said Frank Kettenstock, Chief Marketing Officer for Foxit.
