Salesforce-native PDFs — without a modern UX or eSignature workflow.

Why customers switch

Why teams choose SalesSign over PDF Butler.

A modern builder, not a template engine

Drag-and-drop layouts and live previews replace fiddly Word/HTML template authoring.

Built-in eSignatures & analytics

No need to bolt on a separate eSignature product or analytics tool.

Same Salesforce-native power

Pull merge fields from any object, push signed PDFs back to the Opportunity, trigger Flows on signature events.

Customer Story
“From an engineering standpoint, the live Salesforce data sync is the feature that sold it — no stale fields, no manual updates, proposals always reflect the current record. The behavioural analytics go deeper than a simple open notification: scroll depth, session replays and triggered follow-ups based on what the prospect actually read.”
