I only need to compress and e-sign about five client contracts a week from my laptop. Is the free version of Smallpdf enough for that, or will the daily limits constantly block me?

had the same thing last month trying to send some order confirmations. tbh i just drop a signature pic into word and save as pdf, no extra compress needed since they’re already small. five a week is nothing, i wouldn’t bother with paid versions of those sites. fwiw i keep everything on my laptop without extra tools.
