Features Engineered for Legal Certainty
Every component in SignExact is built to eliminate ambiguity, provide non-repudiation, and uphold federal and state statutory standards.
Sub-Millimeter 72-DPI Coordinate Translation
Most e-signature web tools use browser DOM pixels for field placement, causing stamps to drift or distort when converted to PDF pages. SignExact solves this with a mathematical coordinate translation engine:
- Translates browser viewport coordinates directly into 72-DPI PostScript points.
- Inverts web top-left origins into true PDF bottom-left cartesian coordinates.
- Supports signatures, dates, initials, full legal names, and multi-line typing fields.
Signers are guaranteed the statutory right to withdraw electronic consent, review clear consumer hardware/software requirements, and print a physical paper copy at any stage of the execution workflow.
Built-In Print & Sign Compliance
Federal law explicitly governs electronic disclosures. Rather than hiding disclosure terms in microscopic footnotes, SignExact surfaces clear, compliant print and review actions before any agreement is finalized.
- Explicit paper-copy accessibility prior to document execution.
- Affirmative consumer electronic consent logging with cryptographic timestamping.
- Hybrid signing support: sign electronically or print, sign with wet ink, and scan.
Tamper-Evident SHA-256 Hash Chaining
Generic e-sign tools store event logs in private database tables that can be modified or purged. SignExact applies cryptographic blockchain-style chaining to every event record:
- Genesis hash computed upon initial PDF upload:
sha256(envelopeId + '-GENESIS'). - Every subsequent action hashes the previous hash, timestamp, actor email, IP address, and details.
- Mathematical impossibility of retroactively modifying any history row without breaking the chain.

When all signers finish, SignExact appends a 2-page forensic Certificate of Completion directly to the signed document. This creates a self-contained, standalone record that courts and counterparties can verify without accessing SignExact servers.
- Forensic IP address, timestamp, and browser user-agent attribution.
- Permanent statutory ESIGN § 7003 disclaimer language.
- Complete SHA-256 audit ledger sequence printed directly on the certificate.
