PDF signing directly inside Nextcloud with workflow automation
LibreSign adds native PDF electronic signatures to Nextcloud, supporting GLPI ticket signing, admin‑defined approval workflows, and a REST API for custom integrations.

LibreSign brings electronic PDF signing to the Nextcloud ecosystem, allowing users to apply digital signatures without leaving their file storage environment. It integrates with GLPI to sign tickets and offers admin‑configured approval workflows, making it suitable for internal document control and audit trails.
The app supports standard PDF signatures, exposes a RESTful API for programmatic signing, and can be installed via the Nextcloud app store. Once deployed on a Nextcloud server, it leverages existing authentication and storage, eliminating the need for separate signing platforms. Administrators can define workflow rules to automatically approve or reject files, while developers can extend functionality through the documented API.
Teams already using Nextcloud for collaboration, IT service desks using GLPI, and organizations that need lightweight, self‑hosted e‑signature capabilities will find LibreSign a practical addition to their workflow.
When teams consider LibreSign, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
