Why send it for signature instead of emailing the PDF?
How to make a signing link
- Save the form as a template. Upload the PDF, add the role the public will fill (for example Member) and place their fields. Save it as a template.
- Create the link. From the template, make a public link. You can set a cap on how many responses it takes.
- Share it. Copy the link, or download its QR code as an image to print on a poster, a flyer or a front-desk sign.
- Follow the responses. Each response is a request of its own in your sent documents. Pause the link, change the cap, or close it for good.
What a visitor sees
Before they type anything, the page shows what they are signing and who is asking: your name (or your brand), the document's title, the pages, and anyone else who signs after them. Then they give their name and email and type the one-time code we email them. That code is what ties the signature to a real address, since the link itself is public. After that it is the ordinary signing page, and they get their own signed copy at the end.
Caps, pausing and closing
- A response cap: the link stops taking new responses at the number you set. Useful for a class with 30 places or a limited offer.
- Pause: the link stays where you posted it but shows that it is not taking responses for now. Resume it later.
- Close: for good. The QR code on the old poster then leads to a closed page instead of a form.
Where people use it
Gym and club membership forms, photo release forms at an event, volunteer waivers, tenant applications, sign-up sheets for a class, and contractor onboarding forms on a website. If you already have the list of people, bulk send is the better fit.
Which plan has signing links
Signing links work on the Free plan. Each response is a request and counts against the monthly allowance. The Free plan has a limited allowance of requests each calendar month, and paid Pro and Team plans. Pro removes the limits. Docusign calls the same idea a PowerForm; here it is simply a signing link.
Signing link and QR code: common questions
What is a signing link?
A public link to a PDF form. Anyone who opens it gives their name and email, confirms the email with a code, and signs their own copy.
Can I make a QR code for a PDF someone needs to sign?
Yes. Every signing link has a QR code you can download and print.
Can I limit how many people sign?
Yes. Set a response cap when you create the link, or change it later. You can also pause or close the link.
Is there a Docusign PowerForm alternative?
A KovaPDF signing link does the same job: one template, one public link, a separate signed copy for each person.
Is it free?
Yes, on the Free plan. Each response counts as one request against the monthly allowance; Pro removes the limits.
