DocmendClient feedback, back in your Doc.
Send clients one link to comment on or sign your document, with no account needed. Notes land in your Google Doc as real comments, and signed PDFs land in your inbox. Docmend also turns PDF markup into comments and exports to Word and PDF cleanly.
Google Docs is great until the Doc leaves Google.
Retyping each note into the Doc takes an hour and you still miss a few. Google Docs can’t import PDF annotations.
Google fonts get swapped, suggestions show up as tracked changes, and your private comments travel with the file.
File → Download → PDF leaves the comments out, so you can’t print, share or archive a review round.
Everything opens next to the document you’re working on.
Drop the marked-up PDF. Get real comments.
Docmend reads the notes in the PDF, finds the same words in your Doc, and adds each note as a comment with the reviewer’s name.
- Works with Acrobat, Mac Preview, Edge, Foxit, GoodNotes and Notability
- Highlights, sticky notes, strike-outs, underlines and text boxes
- Still matches when the text changed a little since the PDF was made
- Edit or skip any note before it’s added
Get it signed without chasing anyone.
Upload a PDF or use your Google Doc, tap where your client should sign, and send. They sign from a link on any phone or laptop. The signed PDF lands in your inbox.
- No account or app for your client
- Signature, name and date boxes anywhere on the page
- Signing certificate with time, email and document fingerprint
- See who opened and signed, and send reminders
Know what breaks in Word before you hit send.
A readiness score for the .docx you’re about to send, with one-click fixes that produce a clean Word copy.
- Swaps Google-only fonts like Roboto and Lato for the closest Word fonts

- Compresses heavy images to get under email limits
- Switches between A4 and US Letter
A PDF that keeps every comment.

Questions people ask first.
How do I get the signed document back?
As soon as your client clicks Finish, the signed PDF is emailed to you with a signing certificate attached as the last page. It also appears in Docmend under Send for signature, with a download button. Your client gets a copy too.
Do my clients need a Google account or the extension?
No. You send them a review link. They open it in any browser, select text, leave notes, and can approve and sign. If they do have Docmend, they can also leave notes from its side panel.
Is the signature legally binding?
Docmend adds a simple electronic signature with the signer’s name and date, which many teams use for approving proposals and quotes. For contracts that need a certified e-signature with an audit trail, use a dedicated signing service.
Which PDF apps does it work with?
Any app that saves standard PDF annotations: Adobe Acrobat and Reader, Mac Preview, Microsoft Edge, Foxit, Xodo, GoodNotes, Notability and most iPad markup apps. Flattened scans or photos of paper don’t contain notes Docmend can read.
Why does Chrome say Docmend is “debugging this browser”?
Google doesn’t let apps attach comments to specific words, so Docmend adds them the way you would: it selects the text and uses the comment shortcut. Chrome shows that bar whenever an extension types into a page. It disappears as soon as the import finishes.
Do I need to give Docmend access to my Google Drive?
No. Docmend only works with the Doc open in your tab, using the sign-in you already have. There’s no Google permission screen and nothing is stored on our side.
What counts as an action on the free plan?
Adding a batch of PDF notes to a Doc, downloading a fixed Word copy, or creating a PDF with comments. Running the Word check itself is always free. Actions reset on the 1st of each month.
How do I activate Pro?
After checkout you get a license key by email. Click the plan badge in the Docmend panel, paste the key, and press Activate. You can use it on up to 3 browsers.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the link in your receipt email. Pro keeps working until the end of the period you paid for.
Mend your next review in minutes.
Install Docmend, open the Doc, drop the PDF. The notes are in the Doc a minute later.
