How to Decline to Sign

PDFelement is an all-in-one PDF editing tool with a "Decline to Sign" feature, enabling users to refuse document signatures, while accepting and editing them.

Sometimes, you receive documents for agreement but might not want to sign them. Refusing to sign can protect you from potential legal or personal risks, ensuring your consent is not misused. If you have such documents, follow this guide to understand how to use the "Decline to Sign" feature effectively.

• Upon reaching the homepage of PDFelement after downloading and installing this tool, navigate to the "Agreement" section on the left side. You'll now see the documents you've received for adding a signature. Tap on the document you wish to review and decline to sign.

Open the Agreement

• When the document is opened within the Fill & Sign interface, head to the “Horizontal Three-Dotted” icon and choose the “Decline to Sign” option from the drop-down menu.

Choose to Decline

• In the “Decline to Sign” dialogue box, write down the reason for not signing the document in the provided text space. After doing so, hit the "Decline" button to confirm your decision and prevent the document from being signed.
