Replaces these SaaS

DocuSign · Electronic signature / document signing
DocuSign templates and envelopes don't export cleanly. Practical migration: existing signed PDFs from DocuSign keep their cryptographic signatures and stay valid forever — you only re-platform new envelopes. In Documenso: upload PDFs, drag signature/initial/date fields, send. Recipients sign via emailed link. Audit trail and signed-by-server PKCS#7 signatures are baked in.
