I heard that you should be embarrassed by the first version of your product. Well, today I'm delighted to announce that I'm positively humiliated by the first version of this free tool that I made for myself.
It's a super-simple e-signing application for PDFs that works over email. Email it a PDF and it'll email you back a link to edit it. Or, if you're sending someone a PDF, cc: it (free@signandreturn.com) and it'll take care of the rest.
It's an experiment in how much UI I can remove from the process of getting a document signed.
Ideas for improvements? Let me hear them! Maybe with your help I can unembarrass myself.
EDIT: Need a sample PDF? Here's one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6821374/samplecontract.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6821374/samplecontract.p...
- botw 11y agopdf to webpage and write it back as pdf. what tech stack are you using?
- eschutte2 11y agoOh hey, sorry, hadn't checked this thread in a while. It's Node, using ImageMagick for the page images and pdftk to assemble the final PDF. All the interesting bits (in my view, because email is mysterious to me) are handled by Mailgun http://www.mailgun.com/ http://www.mailgun.com/ which I've been very happy with so far.
- botw 11y agooh so there is no pdf2html involved. just image overlay. do you plan to open source this tool?
