Frequently asked questions

Can WhiskFile handle employment agreement signatures?
WhiskFile's Fill and Sign PDF tool supports self-signing (employee signing their own copy). For multi-party workflows — sending to a candidate for their signature and receiving it back — you'll need a dedicated eSign platform with routing features.
How do I redact salary information before sharing documents cross-departmentally?
Use the AI Auto-Redact tool (Pro plan) for automated PII redaction, or the Edit PDF tool for manual black-box redaction. Always use the Flatten PDF tool after redacting to make redactions permanent and irreversible.
