Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Install and activate WPsigner Lite.
- Have a PDF ready (contract, NDA, waiver, etc.).
- Know the signer name(s) and email address(es).
1. Open the document wizard
Section titled “1. Open the document wizard”- Log in to WordPress admin.
- Click WPsigner in the sidebar.
- Click New Document (or +).
You should see the 4-step wizard: Upload → Signers → Fields → Review.
2. Upload a PDF
Section titled “2. Upload a PDF”- Drag your PDF into the upload area, or click to browse.
- Wait until the preview loads.
- Click Next.
If the upload rejects the file, convert it to PDF. Lite does not accept PNG/JPG.
3. Add up to two signers
Section titled “3. Add up to two signers”- Enter Name and Email for the first signer.
- Optionally click Add Signer for a second person (Lite maximum is 2).
- Choose Parallel (everyone at once) or Sequential (one after another).
- Click Next.
4. Place fields on the PDF
Section titled “4. Place fields on the PDF”- Select a signer (color helps identify ownership).
- Drag Signature (and optionally Initials, Date, Text) onto the page.
- Resize and position fields where people must sign.
- Click Next.
Tip: put at least one Signature field per signer or they cannot finish.
5. Review and send
Section titled “5. Review and send”- Check title, signers, and field placement.
- Optionally set an expiration date or require an access code / email OTP (Lite supports email OTP).
- Click Send.
Each signer gets an email with a unique signing link. They can draw, type, or upload a signature on the public signing page.
6. Get the signed PDF
Section titled “6. Get the signed PDF”- Open WPsigner → Documents.
- When status is Completed, open the document.
- Download the signed PDF and review the audit trail.
Lite stores a local completion timestamp on your server (not an external TSA).
