FAQ
Can I edit a document in Xodo Sign?
Absolutely. You can edit your documents with tools for editing PDF text, adding comments, rearranging pages, and more. Start by signing up for and logging into a Xodo Sign account. Go into the Quick Actions menu and select 'Edit Document'.
Can I use Xodo Sign for free?

Is it possible to edit a signed document?
It is not possible to edit a signed document. However, note that if a document is signed with a real electronic signature, any edits you wish to make to it will invalidate the signature.
In such cases, you will need to create a copy of the document and send it out again, or create a new document, re-upload the previously signed one, and add an amendment page.
Is it illegal to edit a signed PDF?
While editing a signed PDF isn’t illegal in itself, the consequences of doing so can be. For instance, if you make changes to a signed agreement that is made to be legally binding, any changes that are made to it can invalidate the legality of the agreement.
