You sent a PDF. You have no idea what happened next.
Sending proposals as PDFs means they disappear into an inbox and you wait. With Droposal you see when it was opened, which section they read – and the client can sign it immediately.

Why Droposal is more than a PDF
A PDF shows the proposal. Droposal closes the deal.
Know when they opened it
With a PDF you're in the dark. Droposal sends a real-time notification the moment the client opens your proposal.
Sign with one click
No print-scan-DocuSign loop. The client signs directly inside the proposal with one click – legally valid.
Interactive pricing
PDFs are static. In Droposal, clients configure their own package and the total updates in real time – no back-and-forth revisions.
Automated follow-up
If the client goes silent, Droposal sends a reminder automatically. With a PDF you have to chase them manually.
Droposal vs PDF

Try for freeWhy PDF isn't enough
You sent the PDF – then silence. Droposal shows you what's happening.
You emailed the PDF attachment. Did the client open it? Read it? Which part tripped them up? PDF tells you nothing. In Droposal you see exactly when the client opened the proposal, which section they read longest – and automatic reminders go out if they don't respond.
- Real-time notification on open
- See which sections the client spent time on
- Automatic reminders if no response
PDFs are static – Droposal proposals are alive
PDFs are great for archiving. But clients have questions, want to choose a package, change quantities. With a PDF, every change means another email. In Droposal the client configures their order interactively – the price updates automatically, no revision needed.
- Interactive product and package selector
- Automatic total price calculation
- No resending when the client wants to adjust
Signing a PDF requires a separate tool – or a printer
When a client accepts your PDF proposal, they still need a separate signing solution – DocuSign, HelloSign, or the old print-sign-scan routine. In Droposal, e-signature is built in: the client signs inside the proposal, legally valid, and a contract is generated automatically.
- Built-in e-signature, no external tool needed
- Legally valid electronic signature
- Automatic contract creation on signing
Legally valid electronic signature
A PDF is frozen – in Droposal you can edit after sending
Once you've emailed a PDF, if you need to change a price or a line item, you have to send a new version. In Droposal, the proposal is a live link: you can edit it at any time and the client always sees the latest version – no resending required.
- Real-time editing even after sending
- Client always sees the current version
- No resending needed for every update
