How Client-Side PDF Signing Operates
LocalDoc captures vector strokes directly from the HTML5 canvas pad, encodes them as a transparent PNG alpha-mask stream, and embeds them into the target PDF dictionary with exact coordinate mapping in browser RAM without server transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this online PDF editor legally binding for signatures?
Yes. In most global jurisdictions, including under the US ESIGN Act and European eIDAS regulations, electronic signatures embedded directly into digital agreements are legally binding when there is clear intent by the signatory.
Can I edit existing typed text inside an existing PDF?
Our editor specializes in annotation, form completion, and signature overlays. To replace existing hardcoded underlying text strings, we recommend using our PDF to Word converter, updating the text in DOCX, and converting back to PDF.
Are my sensitive documents uploaded to any remote server?
Never. LocalDoc was engineered from day one with a zero-upload security model. All parsing, canvas rendering, signature embedding, and file compilation occur strictly inside your device's browser memory.
Does this tool work on mobile devices and touchscreens?
Yes. The signature pad and annotation overlay are fully optimized for touch events on iOS Safari, iPadOS, Android Chrome, and Windows touchscreens, allowing natural finger or stylus signing.
Can I sign multi-page PDF documents?
Yes. You can navigate through all pages of your multi-page document, place signatures and text notes across multiple pages, and export the entire consolidated file in a single download.
