What is an audit trail and why does it matter?

An audit trail is a detailed record of every signing event, including the signer's name, email, IP address, geographic location, browser, timestamp, and whether they viewed the document before signing. Scribeo generates a signed PDF audit certificate when all parties have signed, which can be used as evidence in a dispute.

Can multiple people sign the same document?

Yes. Scribeo supports multiple signers per document. Each signer gets their own unique signing link, and you can track who has signed and who is still pending from your dashboard.

How much does Scribeo cost?

Scribeo offers three plans: Basic at $4.95/month (5 documents), Pro at $9.95/month (15 documents), and Unlimited at $19.95/month (unlimited documents). All plans include unlimited signatures and mobile access.

Is my document data secure?

Yes. All documents are stored with 256-bit AES encryption on Google Firebase infrastructure. Documents are accessible only by the document owner and designated signers via unique secure links.

Do signers need to create an account?

No. Signers do not need to create an account or download any software. They receive an email with a unique signing link, verify their email address, review the document, draw their signature, and submit — all in their browser on any device.

How do I get a document signed with Scribeo?

Upload your PDF, add the names and emails of your signers, drag and drop signature fields onto the document, then send. Each signer receives an email with a unique signing link. You get notified when all parties have signed, along with a full audit certificate.

Is Scribeo legally binding in Australia?

"Yes. Electronic signatures in Australia are legally binding under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and equivalent state/territory legislation. Scribeo captures a full audit trail including timestamp, IP address, email verification, and location to ensure enforceability.

Can I import documents from Google Drive or Dropbox?

Yes. On the Upload page you can import PDF files directly from Google Drive or Dropbox in addition to uploading from your computer.

What is an option group or checkbox field?

An option group lets your signer choose between two or more predefined options directly on the document — for example \"I accept the terms\" vs \"I decline the terms\". Their selection is recorded in the audit trail and stamped onto the signed PDF.

What file types does Scribeo support?

Scribeo currently supports PDF files. PDFs are the industry standard for legally binding documents and preserve formatting across all devices and operating systems.

Can I save document templates to reuse later?

Yes. Once you have placed all your signature fields and option groups on a PDF, you can save it as a template. Your template stores the document and all field positions. Next time, load the template, enter the new recipient details, and send — no re-placing fields required.

How do I send a reminder to a signer?

From My Documents, click \"Remind All\" to resend the signing email to all pending signers on a document, or click \"Remind\" next to an individual signer to target just that person. Reminders include the original signing link.
