Face-to-Face Workflows

Make Face-to-Face Signing Easier

Not every signer starts from an email invitation. Some people walk into an office, meet with a representative, complete paperwork at a counter, or sign during an appointment. In those moments, teams need a signing experience that is fast, guided, and easy to manage in person. Foxit eSign helps your team complete the signing process electronically while the signer is physically present — see how to send documents for signing.

  • Capture in-person digital signatures during appointments or walk-in interactions
  • Support signers who may not have immediate access to email
  • Guide customers, patients, employees, or clients through required documents
  • Reduce paper handling, scanning, and manual filing
  • Keep completed documents in the Foxit eSign workflow for tracking and storage

Sign Without Email-First Friction

Many eSignature workflows depend on a signer receiving an email link. That works well for remote agreements, but it can slow down in-person interactions where the signer is already there and ready to complete the document. Foxit eSign makes email optional for in-person signers and lets you still send completed documents to an email address after signing — pair it with prepared document workflows for repeat templates.

Manage Multiple In-Person Signers

  • Multiple people need to sign one document in person
