Features
PDF editing and annotation
Add text, images, comments and highlights, white out information, and convert or merge documents without losing quality.
Multi-signer signing workflow
Documents are signed by typing, drawing or uploading a signature image, and signatures can be requested from several signers in any order.
Fillable forms and templates
Fillable PDF forms accept checkboxes, signatures and initials, and reusable templates give each recipient their own copy to complete.
Sharing with roles and permissions
A document, template or form is shared by email, fax, public link or a personal DocHub URL, with roles and permissions set for each person.
Google Workspace integration
PDF editing and eSigning run inside Google Workspace apps such as Drive and Gmail, without moving documents out of those tools.
What users say
Pros
- A document's own URL can be sent to a client who has no DocHub account.
- Signing order and pending status stay visible in one place for documents with multiple signers.
- Editing and signing run in the browser, with no software to install for either job.
- Per-document permissions control who can view, edit or sign each file.
Cons
- The free plan's monthly document cap runs out quickly for regular client work.
- Existing text in a PDF cannot be edited; changes are layered on as text boxes.
- Fonts used in the original PDF are unavailable, so inserted text does not match.
- Documents can fail to sync or save, losing work already done on a form.
- The default sharing setting is public, so documents stay visible until the setting is changed.
