Signed, and provable.
Your client signs in the portal. What comes out is not a picture of a signature but a sealed PDF with a record that reveals any later change.
The problem
The pain points we hear most often in customer conversations about this area:
- Approval arrives as “fine by me” over WhatsApp — and is worth nothing in a dispute.
- Every signature means someone drives over or paper goes back and forth.
- A signature vendor charges per signature and shows your client its logo, not yours.
- When questions come up, nobody can say who saw what, and when.
How Portenia solves it
Our take on this area — editor, platform and everyday practice combined:
Two factors, not one
Signed in to the portal plus a one-time code to the address on file. Only both together tie a signature to a person.
A seal inside the document
The finished PDF is sealed (PAdES). Any checker will then show whether the file changed after signing.
A record that cannot be smoothed over
Requested, viewed, code sent, signed — each step with time and origin, and each entry carries the previous one. Change or remove a line and the chain breaks visibly. Including for us.
Visible on paper
The last page carries the drawn signature, name, timestamp and reference. Anyone printing or forwarding the PDF sees the signature — not just a verification tool.
Under your own name
Everything happens in your portal, on your domain, with your logo. Your client needs no third-party account.
Forms included
A form can require a real signature on its record after submission — a switch, not a second tool.

What it looks like in practice
Three steps from setup to everyday use.
- 1
1. Pick the document
From the file list or under “Signatures”: choose the PDF, set subject and deadline. Your client gets an email.
- 2
2. The client reads and confirms
They see the document in the portal, request their code, tick the box and sign. They can draw their signature as well.
- 3
3. Sealed and returned
The PDF is sealed and available to both sides. Next to it you see the full history and can have it verified at any time.
