Open Source Document Management & E-Signatures Software
Document Management & E-Signatures software organizes digital files and handles the legal signing of contracts. These tools automate the conversion of physical papers into searchable archives and facilitate the editing of PDF documents. This type of software serves businesses and individuals who need to manage resumes, e-books, and professional agreements. Self-hosting these apps ensures that sensitive contracts and private records remain on local servers. You avoid sending confidential signatures or internal knowledge bases to external cloud services.
This page lists 48 open source tools in the Document Management & E-Signatures category. The most popular are Stirling PDF, Paperless-home and Reactive Resume. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or MIT license, and 40 offer an official Docker image.
