The PDF Signer module is Biz1’s digital document preparation and signing system, designed to transform static PDF files into interactive, signable business documents.
It allows organizations to:

- Visual Layout – How the Interface Is Structured
The New PDF Signer screen is split into two intelligent working areas:

Purpose
This area represents the actual PDF document you are working on.

Once uploaded:

Each PDF page is displayed visually
-
Pages appear vertically, one below another

- How Creating a New PDF Signer Works (Conceptually)
Think of the process as three layers:
-
Base Document – The original PDF
-
Visual Overlay – Fields placed on top
-
Signing Logic – Who signs, where, and how
The PDF itself is never altered directly.
Instead, Biz1 stores position data and rules on top of it.
