Beyond PDF Signature
E-Signatures for PDFs in Business Central
Beyond PDF Signature brings e-signatures for any PDF into Business Central: the signer draws the signature on screen, the app records name and timestamp, and attaches the result to the correct BC record automatically – so audits are simple, accountability is clear, and teams stop chasing files.
Sign PDFs without leaving Business Central
External PDFs on the right record
A PDF from outside gets signed in Business Central and is then attached to the matching record. You stay in control of signing and linking.
The signed copy sits in the attachments
Once saved, the signed version is stored automatically as its own file ending in “_Signed” in BC's document management, secure and searchable. The original stays untouched.
Name and timestamp on every signature
Every signature is captured with the signer's name in block letters and a timestamp, so audits and checks show who signed and when.
Business Central e-signatures from goods receipt to shipment
Supplier at goods receipt or customer at delivery: open the posted document in Business Central, choose Sign Document and get it signed on the spot. The app is embedded in BC standard, quick to set up and needs no temporary data storage.
Sign right from the document
Sign Document sits in the document's action bar. Signing becomes one step of the task you are already doing in BC.
Clear accountability
Whoever signs enters their name in block letters, even without a BC login, such as the driver or the customer. The signed copy is attached to the record you are working on.
The same steps for every signature
Place the area, enter the name, sign, save. One standard signature workflow across the team.
No more hunting for the signed delivery note
The signed version is attached to the document. That saves the hours each week that used to go into manual file searches.
Digital signatures in Business Central: place, draw, file
In the PDF Signature window you put the signature where it belongs. Business Central supplies the timestamp and document data, and the finished file lands on the record.
Place the signature anywhere
Click in the document preview where the signature should go. You can still resize and move it afterwards.
Several signatures per PDF
Driver and recipient, inspector and customer: capture as many signatures on one PDF as the process needs.
Signing with a BC timestamp
Every signature gets a timestamp from BC.
BC document data next to the PDF
Key BC fields appear alongside the PDF, so you see what is being signed.
A uniquely named PDF on the record
Each signed file is linked to its Business Central record. You find it in the Attachments FactBox (ALT+F2) without searching.
From paper to a signed PDF
External documents get signed as PDFs and land directly on the matching record in Business Central.
