What is an Electronic Closing Binder?

Before we jump into how to create electronic PDF closing binders, let’s first define what an electronic closing binder is?

In the past, closing binders were manually assembled by scanning, printing, and collating paper documents into a three-ring binder. These physical binders were then mailed to clients and relevant third parties. With advancements in technology, closing binders are now typically produced and delivered in digital formats, commonly referred to as electronic closing binders.

An electronic closing binder efficiently organizes and summarizes all documents associated with a transaction, including a closing statement and copies of every relevant document. These binders are fully text-searchable, indexed, and bookmarked, and once finalized, they can be quickly distributed to all involved parties.

Electronic closing binders are widely used in legal transactions, commercial and residential real estate closings, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Depending on the context, they may also be known by various other terms, such as closing books, record books, transaction  bibles, closing bibles, or deal bibles.
