Edit a contract PDF
Reword a clause or insert a new one, and everything after it moves down across pages, under the running header on each. Clause numbers are typed text: renumber the ones after a clause you insert.
The editor and its templates open without an account; importing a PDF takes a free one.
Five contracts
Five contracts open without an account: an employment agreement, a freelance agreement in plain language, a mutual NDA, a sales agreement and a professional services agreement. They are starting points to adapt with your lawyer, not legal advice.
To change a contract you have as a PDF, import it: it takes a free account and one AI page per page of the PDF (10 a month on the free plan). Read it against the original before anyone signs it.
Changing a clause
Click into a clause and type. To add one, duplicate a clause (right-click, then Duplicate) or add a block from the + between two blocks, then renumber the clauses after it.
In the templates a clause’s title stays on the page of its text, and the signature blocks stay together on one page.
Signing
A signature field is signed in the editor: type your name in a handwriting font, or draw it, and by default a stamp records who signed, when, on which browser and system, and from which IP address. It is an electronic signature, not a certificate-based digital one.
The contract templates have lines to sign by hand on the printed page. To sign in the editor, add a Signature from Blocks.
Editing it again later
To change the contract later, download it with “Keep the PDF editable” switched on: it opens again in the editor as it was, without AI. The switch is off by default.

Questions
- Are clause numbers updated when I add a clause?
- No. They are typed: renumber the clauses after the one you add. The text after it moves down by itself.
- Is a template legal advice?
- No. The templates show the usual structure of each agreement; have a lawyer adapt one to your situation and jurisdiction.
- Is the editor’s signature a digital signature?
- It is an electronic signature, typed or drawn, with an optional stamp of who signed, when, on which browser and system, and from which IP address. It is not a certificate-based digital signature.
