Not just an easier way to sign documents. A more accurate, more verifiable, and more secure way to collect information. Built for how Australians actually work.
Why it matters
The problem with PDF-based signing isn't just inconvenience. It produces worse outcomes: errors, weak records, and data you can't use. Docos fixes all of it.
Clerical errors
Hand-keyed data from a PDF gets misread, mis-typed, and left incomplete. Someone always has to chase it up.
Data entered directly into a validated form, auto-filled from a saved profile. It arrives correct.
The legal record
A signed PDF captures a signature image. There is no record of when it was signed, from where, or on what device.
Every submission includes a timestamped audit trail: IP address, device, and a hash linking the signature to the document.
What you actually receive
A PDF file. The information inside it is locked in a document image. Re-keying it into your system is your problem.
Structured data. Every field labelled, clean, and ready to use. Searchable, exportable, actionable.
Informed consent
A recipient receives a PDF on their phone. They pinch-zoom past it in ten seconds and tap sign.
The full document content is displayed in readable format. Scroll-to-confirm is recorded. You can prove what they agreed to.
How it works
Upload your existing PDF or build a form directly in Docos. Share a link with whoever needs to sign. No software installs, no accounts required on their end.
Your recipient gets a clean, mobile-friendly form. Not a PDF. If they've used Docos before, most fields are already filled from their profile.
Both parties receive a signed, verified document. Every detail recorded: what was agreed to, when, and by whom. Sorted.
Features
When people hand-fill a PDF, information gets misread, mis-keyed, or left blank. Docos collects data directly, validated at input and auto-filled from a saved profile. The data that arrives is the data that was intended.
A hand-filled PDF captures a signature image. That's it. A Docos record captures the signature, timestamp, IP address, device, and a tamper-evident hash tying everything together. This is what holds up.
A completed PDF is a picture of information. Docos delivers structured data: labelled, clean, searchable, and ready to flow into your systems. No re-keying from a scanned document.
No monthly fees, no seat licences, no lock-in. Pay per completed document. If you don't send anything this month, you pay nothing.
For business
Build your form in Docos. Share a link whenever you need it completed. No more emailing PDFs back and forth.
Build once, use forever
Create your form in Docos. Every time you need it filled out, share the same link. No re-uploading, no re-configuring.
Your recipients have nothing to install
They open a link in their browser. That's it. Works on any phone, any device.
Every submission is on record

The data problem
Every returned PDF becomes a manual data entry job. Someone reads the handwriting, re-keys the information into your school system, your CRM, your HR platform — and introduces errors at every step. Across Australian businesses, this costs billions of dollars in administrative time every year.
Human error comes free with every returned PDF.
Industry research puts manual re-entry error rates at 1–5%. On a 40-field form, that can mean two or three clerical errors per submission — silently corrupting your records, one form at a time.
Docos delivers the data. You don't have to extract it.
Everything submitted through Docos arrives as structured, labelled data the moment they sign. Nothing to decode from a PDF. Nothing to retype. Nothing to chase up.
Your data lands where it needs to go.
Every submission includes a signed PDF attestation, a JSON data object, and a plain text copy. Or use the Docos API to push data directly into your school admin system, CRM, or HR platform the moment a form is completed.

}JSON data object
Every field, labelled and typed. Paste it directly into any system or feed it to an integration.
Plain text copy
A clean, human-readable record. Copy a field, paste it anywhere. No PDF reader required.
API and webhooks
Push data directly into your school admin, HR platform, or CRM the moment a form is completed.
The record
Every completed form produces a signed attestation document containing all submitted data, the signature, and a full audit trail. Where your original PDF exists, it is appended verbatim. The hash links everything together, so neither part can be altered after signing.
This record is more complete than anything a filled PDF can produce. It captures what was submitted, when, by whom, from where, and on what device. That is the evidence that holds up.
And because the data arrives structured rather than locked inside a PDF image, there is nothing to re-key, nothing to misread, and nothing to chase up.
