How to sign a PDF electronically

Printing a document just to sign and re-scan it is a waste of time and paper. An electronic signature adds your mark directly onto the PDF.

Three ways to sign

• Draw with a mouse, trackpad or finger for a natural look.
• Type your name in a signature font.
• Upload a photo of your handwritten signature.

Placement and size

Drop the signature on the line, resize it to fit, and it becomes part of the page on export.
