I haven't found free, open-source solutions, but HelloSign[0] is a decent solution if you only need to sign documents a few times per year. Their free tier supports three documents per month. They make it look like they only have paid plans, but you can sign up without a credit card for a free tier.

- rubyfan 5y agoThese open source solutions aren’t explicitly for PDF signing but they can in theory be combined with PDF.js https://github.com/brinley/jSignature https://github.com/brinley/jSignature https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad
- mdavidn 5y agoIANAL, but the value of a service like DocuSign is being a third-party whose records the counterparties cannot manipulate.
- rubyfan 5y agoAgree. I think if the solution is auditable you’re OK. Many companies take first party accountability for capturing recurring credit card consent from customers and store the “proof” as an auto able document.
- cowpig 5y agoI use hellosign in my business, it works fine.
- acjohnson55 5y agoWe use Hellosign at my employer for probably hundreds of thousands of docs per month. I'm neither recommending for or against them; just saying they're absolutely a viable option.
- yojo 5y agoI’ve also used HelloSign for lease agreements and the like, and it has been totally fine. It does not seem to have timestamps more granular than date (e.g. no hour/minute), but that seems unlikely to be actually necessary.

- klausjensen 5y agoI second this. Hellosign has been my goto for signing PDF's for years and years - and I use the free plan. I even use it when I am the only signer.
