Convert Business Proposal Template to PDF for Signatures
Business proposal templates that require client signatures need to be converted to PDF before going into an e-signature workflow. The Docs to PDF extension exports the proposal as a standard PDF, which is accepted by all major e-signature platforms including DocuSign, Adobe Sign, and HelloSign.
Why PDFs are required for signatures
Business proposal templates in Google Docs format cannot be signed directly in most e-signature platforms. Converting to PDF is required. The PDF you upload is the document the client signs, so confirm all content is final before exporting.
Export and upload workflow
Convert the final proposal to PDF using the extension. Download the PDF. Upload it to your e-signature platform of choice. Add signature fields and send to the client. The entire workflow from Google Docs to signed PDF can be completed in a few minutes.
Keeping an unsigned and signed copy
After the client signs, save both the unsigned PDF you sent and the signed PDF you receive. The unsigned copy is the reference for your original offer. The signed copy is the executed agreement.
