SigningHub enables you to add a QR Code to documents to help simplify signature verification.


The QR code in the document enables users to scan the QR code with the camera on their smartphone, this will automatically open a page that will contain options to view the document and signature verification details. The page will include clickable options to show the document in read-only mode and verification results for the digital signatures separately.

This field is associated with a specific document and becomes the part of PDF document when it is shared, signed, reviewed or updated.

Adding a QR Code is subject to your assigned enterprise user role. If you wish to use this feature, ask your Enterprise Admin to enable the QR Code in your Role>Document Settings.
