Place a visible signature in your PDF

Review its position and what the signature represents.

At a glance

A visual signature adds a representation of your signature to the document. It is not, by itself, a certificate-verified digital signature.

Before you start

Check what kind of signature the recipient needs before preparing the deliverable.

01

Find the signature area

Open Sign PDF and select the file. Go to the page where the signature should appear.

02

Prepare your signature

Use the available controls to create and position the signature. Review its size and avoid covering important text.

03

Review the final document

Save the copy, download it and check the signature when reopening it. Keep the original PDF.

If something does not go as expected

If a certificate-based digital signature is required, a drawn or typed signature does not replace that requirement.

Before you finish

The signature is visible, positioned correctly and matches the requested format.

NOW, YOUR DOCUMENT

Now you know where to start.
