Connie uses its own smart, structured document format for anything that needs to be issued or signed. Here is why.

Instead of traditional Word or PDF files, Connie uses its own smart, structured document format for anything that needs to be issued or signed. This comes with several benefits for you.

Word and PDF documents were originally designed for printing, not for phones. Connie's documents are built to be responsive, lightweight, and easy to read and sign on any screen. That means fewer frustrated signers, fewer mistakes, and fewer delays.

Instead of burying personal data inside a static file, Connie lets you insert SmartTags to collect the information you need: names, addresses, dates, company details, payment info, and more.

Because SmartTags are structured data, you can:

This simply is not possible with standard PDFs or Word files.

Static documents make it hard to know what personal data is stored and where. When personal data lives inside SmartTags, Connie always knows where the data is, making it easy to find, update, or delete it. This reduces the risk of overlooked or duplicated personal information and helps you stay in control of GDPR compliance.

You can send a PDF for signature in Connie. Upload the file, add the signer, and send. It works just like any other document in Connie, and once signed, it is stored in your project alongside everything else.

The one thing to keep in mind is that PDFs are treated as fixed documents. They cannot be edited, filled in, or adjusted inside Connie. Only the signature is added. So for a document that just needs a quick signature, PDF works well. For anything that needs to be reusable, fillable, or structured, Connie's own format is the better choice.

Here is how you can send a PDF for signature.

You can also upload and store PDFs, Word docs, JPGs, and more in your project, so you have all your project documents in one place.
