But\npreparing and signing a document often happen in separate workflows. Even a\nsmall change can mean opening another tool, editing the file, exporting a new\nversion and uploading it again before the agreement can move forward. With\nmore than 70% of Docusign eSignature requests initiated directly in Docusign\nstarting as PDFs, this extra work adds up.\n\nDocusign PDF Editor simplifies that process by giving users powerful PDF\nediting capabilities and a direct integration into Docusign – the company\n95% of Fortune 500 businesses already trust for eSignature. It's a new\noffering for the Docusign IAM platform that helps businesses create, sign,\nmanage, and now edit agreements in a smarter and more connected way.\n\n\"You shouldn't have to jump in between tools just to get a contract ready for\nsignature,\" said Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at Docusign. \"With\nDocusign PDF Editor, you can now edit your PDF, send it for signature, and\nmanage the contract afterward.

Once a document is signed, editing is\nlocked to preserve its integrity.\n * Manage agreements after signing: Once signed, agreements are analyzed using\nAI in Docusign, where teams can quickly answer contracting questions, track\nkey dates like renewals, and surface potential risks and other insights.\nWith all of these capabilities available directly in the Docusign workflow,\nDocusign PDF Editor can help businesses reduce manual handoffs, simplify how\nthey manage everyday document work, and reduce the opportunity for version\nconfusion or sensitive documents moving unnecessarily between multiple tools.\nWith PDF Editor, Docusign is expanding its platform with powerful PDF editing,\nbringing document preparation together with its existing capabilities for\ncreating, signing and managing agreements.\n\nAvailability\nThe Docusign PDF Editor desktop application will be available for IAM and\neSignature customers to purchase starting on November 2, 2026 in English,\nDutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish with additional languages planned\nfor 2027.\n\nAbout Docusign\nDocusign brings agreements to life.
