In the U.S., laws like the ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act make electronic signatures legally valid. Similarly, in the EU, the eIDAS regulation gives electronic signatures the same status as handwritten ones. These regulations ensure that signing a document online is legally binding, just like signing with pen and paper. For users outside the U.S. and EU, it's advisable to check the electronic signature laws specific to your country, as requirements and recognition can vary.

No, PDF Guru only supports electronic signatures. Here’s the difference: an electronic signature is a simple way to show agreement on a document, usually with a drawn signature, mark, or click. A digital signature, however, uses encryption for extra security and authenticity.
