Document Signing Service: Fill & Download for Free

Back in the 1980s a Bundeswehr second lieutenant (Leutnant) was scheduled to be promoted to full lieutenant (Oberleutnant). When he received the document signed by the president he discovered that due to a typo he had been promoted to Oberstleutnant (lieutenant colonel). As the paper had been signed by the president, it could not be reversed.Edit: I remember having read about this incident in the Berlin “Tagesspiegel” (the newspaper my parents had subscribed to at the time) back in the 1980s. I tried to find a reference on the internet, but couldn’t find any. Back then the article said that the decision could not be reversed. The “Soldatengesetz” (Soldier’s act) and the related “Beamtengesetz” (Civil service act), which both cover issues like promotions at federal level , have been changed several times since then. So I suspect that it was an unforeseen loophole, which in meantime was closed, but the new law could not be applied retroactively.

There are a few reasons why CRMs like Salesforce include document signing, the major one being the legal aspect of signing documents. Traditionally signing documents and electronic signatures differ because many regions' legal system does not allow them.However, several e-sign services offer integrating Salesforce with document signing.
