Write it. Understand it. Sign it.

Create a document from a prompt, start from a reusable template, or bring in an existing PDF. OctoDoc keeps the editable text and the rendered PDF tied together so the version you approve is the version you prepare for signing.

Not by itself. Ask Octo can answer a question with a citation or propose an edit as a visible diff. A person must accept that exact proposal against the current version before the document changes, and Ask Octo output never enters a signed file on its own.

The account proves control of the invited email address and gives the signer one place to return to their documents. There is nothing to install, and signers never pay.

Yes. The signer can read every page in the browser and can download or print the document before the final action and after completion.

Each signer gets a separate review-and-correct step before the final action. Missing required marks, an expired invitation, or a stale document version stops completion instead of producing a partial result.

Sealed is the terminal state: every required person has signed, only the approved marks have been flattened into the frozen PDF, the frozen bytes have been digitally signed, and the resulting PDF has been stored once and returned to everyone. We describe that cryptographic result; we do not promise that a court will accept a particular agreement.

Our position is a contractual prohibition on training; retention per our provider agreement. That is the whole claim, it is the wording our subprocessor list carries beside the model provider's row, and we will not upgrade it until a stronger addendum is executed and filed.

Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, family-law matters, court filings, primary-residence default and eviction notices, and several other categories are refused at send time with the rule that fired named on screen. Refusing is not a claim that an electronic signature there is void; it means OctoDoc is not the right tool for that document.

Yes. Everything is currently free during Beta and Early Release. The plan comparison shows the prices and limits that will apply after Early Release.

Yes. Add each signer, assign only the marks they need to complete, and choose whether people sign in order. Each person receives their own bounded signing session for the same frozen document version.

Yes. Add them as a copied party. They receive read-only access to the final signed document without receiving marks or signing authority.

After the final signer finishes, OctoDoc completes the file once. The sender and every signer can return to OctoDoc to download the same signed PDF, and copied parties receive read-only access.
