Edit, template, and send, in one workspace.
Edit the original PDF, turn it into a reusable template, and send a single document or hundreds at once — routed to signers in parallel or in order and tracked by a tamper-evident audit trail.
Edit the original PDF.
Nothing gets flattened.
GingerDocs renders your PDF exactly as authored and keeps every edit as a separate, editable layer. The source file is never modified — a clean, flattened copy is produced only when you're done.
Three ways to edit
Pick the surface that fits the change you're making — from dropping in a signature to rewriting a clause from scratch.
Overlay
Default · Fill & signKeep the original PDF as a read-only background and place fields, text, and signatures on a layer above it. The source is never changed.
In-place
Edit the originalClick the existing text and retype it where it sits. GingerDocs matches the original font and colour, so the page still reads like the original — not a poor copy.
Reflow
Optional · Re-authorWhen you need to rewrite the body, reflow re-authors the document as editable rich text — headings, paragraphs, and tables — then renders a clean PDF.
Built for confident editing
Source stays read-only
Your original PDF is rendered as a background and never overwritten.
Undo, redo, history
Step backward through edits, or roll the whole document to an earlier version.
More than signatures
Collect structured answers with radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns, and file uploads.
Clean flattened output
On completion, a single flattened PDF is generated for download and archival.
The overlay difference
How GingerDocs's read-only-source, layered-edit model compares to editors that convert and re-write your file.
| Capability | GingerDocs | Convert-and-rewrite editors |
|---|---|---|
| Original file | Kept read-only | Overwritten on save |
| Rendering | Shown exactly as authored | Approximate · font substitution risk |
| Your edits | Stored as a separate layer | Baked into the page |
| Edit history | Undo / redo + version history | Often none |
| Audit trail | Every event logged & hash-chained | Not tracked |

Signing workflows that fit how you work
Add recipients, assign fields, and choose how the document moves. GingerDocs supports both parallel and strict sequential signing.
Three ways to sign,
on any device
Recipients sign in whatever way feels natural — and every signature is recorded with a timestamp and IP address in the audit log.
Draw
Touch · Mouse · StylusDraw your signature by hand, captured as a crisp SVG path.
Type
Script fontsType your name and pick from a curated set of handwriting-style fonts.
Upload
PNG · JPGUpload a scanned ink signature or company seal as an image.
Build it once.
Reuse it everywhere.
Turn the documents you send over and over into reusable templates — with the fields, roles, and wording already in place. Start from a finished draft in seconds instead of rebuilding from scratch.
Template editor with roles
Lay out a PDF once and assign every field to a role — Client, Counter-signer, Sender — so the right person always fills the right field.
Variables & merge tokens
Define reusable variables — text, date, or number — that drop names, dates, and amounts into the document as it's generated.
Versioning & restore
Every template is versioned. Review its history and roll back to an earlier version without losing your work.
Save as template & insights
Turn any draft into a template, duplicate one to branch a variant, archive what's retired, and track adoption with usage insights.
From a spreadsheet to hundreds
of personalised documents
Upload a CSV, pick a template, and GingerDocs generates one tailored document per row — queued, tracked, and ready to send. Built for HR onboarding, vendor packets, mass NDAs, and patient intake at volume.
CSV in, documents out
Map spreadsheet columns to your template's roles and variables, then generate one document per row in a single run.
Personalised automatically
Each row's data merges into its own document — recipient details, dates, and amounts filled in for you, every time.
Live run progress
Watch the run advance row by row, with per-row success and failure status as it works through the file — no guessing.
Run history & projects
Every bulk run is saved with its results, and the documents it creates are grouped together in a project.
Everything around the document, in one place
GingerDocs is more than an editor. Organize files into folders and projects, manage the people you send to, brand the experience, and keep your whole team in sync.
Folders & dashboard
Organize documents into folders and track pending, completed, and awaiting-action counts at a glance.
Projects
Group related documents across folders into a project — a matter, deal, or case — keeping everything for one engagement together. A document can live in several at once.
Contacts
Keep a reusable address book of signers — bulk-import from CSV with duplicate resolution, export anytime, and see every document tied to each contact.
Teams & roles
Invite teammates by email and use owner and member roles to scope branding, exports, and account settings.
Branding
Add your company logo and brand the emails and share pages recipients see, so every document looks like it came from you.
Live status & alerts
Document status updates in real time, and the notification centre keeps you posted when recipients view and sign.
Trash & restore
Deleted documents, folders, and templates go to the bin first — restore anything within the retention window before it's gone for good.
Notifications & preferences
A notification centre tracks every update, and per-account settings let you set signing defaults and editor preferences your way.
From draft to finalized — without leaving GingerDocs
Loop in teammates while you prepare, watch the document move in real time, and handle the messy middle — amendments, voids, and declines — without rebuilding from scratch.
Notes & internal review
Leave notes on a document and share it privately with a colleague for review before any signer ever sees it.
Document timeline
See every event — created, sent, viewed, signed — in chronological order, linked to the audit log.
Amendment proposals
If a signer requests a change, propose an amendment in place — up to 3 per document — without restarting the workflow.
Void & decline
Senders can void a document at any time; recipients can decline to sign — both are recorded immutably in the audit log.
Real-time status
Dashboards, recipient panels, and notifications update the instant something happens — no refresh needed.
Global search
Find documents, contacts, and folders from one search bar — across everything you own or have access to.
Reminders & nudges
Send a one-click reminder to whichever signer is holding things up — and configure default cadence in settings.
Data export
Export your documents and metadata at any time — built for GDPR portability and your own archival workflows.
