Free e-signature with tracking
A useful free workflow connects four steps: share a PDF link, review opens and time per page, request a signature, and verify the completion certificate. This guide compares common ways to handle those steps. Docshark Free includes 20 documents and 10 signature requests each month.
| Approach | Free signature | Page activity | One link | Viewer step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Email read receipt | Not included | Email open only | No | Uses the mail app |
| Email PDF attachment | Depends on the signing method | Delivery status | May use a separate link | Opens in a PDF app |
| Separate tracker and signer | Varies by plan | Activity in the tracker | Separate workflows | May switch links |
| Docshark tracked signing link | 10 requests a month | Opens, page time, returns | Same envelope | Browser, no account |
