For documents that must stay confidential
Law firms, fiduciaries, medical practices and public authorities sign confidential documents every day. A signing portal means uploading each one to another company's server. With Axtero Sign, you sign them where they're saved.
Sign from Finder or Files
Axtero Sign appears in Finder on the Mac and in the Files app on iPhone and iPad. There's no website to log in to and nothing to upload or download.
Your PDF stays on your device
The content, the file name and the metadata stay on your Mac, iPhone or iPad while you sign.
Signatures with legal weight
The signed PDF carries a qualified electronic signature under Swiss or EU law.
Your documents aren't stored with us
Axtero doesn't receive your document, so there's no copy with us to store or to delete later.
Signatures you can still check later
Each signature carries the data needed to validate it long after signing. The format is PAdES B-LT.
Start small
Signing uses credits, so you can start with a handful of documents.
Three steps from the file to a signed PDF
Most signing services take twelve, from opening the browser to moving the download back to the right folder. The signature has the same legal value either way.
Other signing services take twelve steps, from opening the browser to moving the downloaded file. Axtero Sign takes three: right-click the PDF and choose Sign with Axtero, add your signature and click Sign, then confirm with the authentication app.

Sign

Confirm
Confirm with Mobile ID or DeepID. The signature comes back and is added to the PDF on your device.
The document stays on the device. A fingerprint travels to the trust service. A signature comes back and is applied to the document on the device.
Change one comma and the signature breaks
The signature lets you check whether the signed content was changed. Later signatures or permitted updates can leave it valid.
Swiss and EU law give a qualified electronic signature the same legal value as a handwritten signature.1
A signed document shows a valid signature. Clicking the document changes a number, a word or the signature, and the signature becomes invalid.
