How to add a signature to a PDF
Adding a signature to a PDF shouldn't force you to print, sign by hand and scan. With an electronic signature tool you do it directly on the document, in minutes.
Your own signature or someone else's
You can sign a PDF yourself or send it for someone else to sign. In both cases the signature is drawn on screen and stamped onto the document, without losing quality or format.
How to do it
Upload the PDF, indicate who must sign and send it. Signing happens from the browser, even from mobile, and is confirmed with a code. The PDF is signed and carries its audit trail.
A signature that counts
Unlike pasting an image of your signature, an electronic signature with an audit trail records who signed, when and from where, which gives it legal backing.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add a signature to a PDF?
Upload the PDF, place the exact spot on the page where the signature should go and send the link to the signer. They draw their signature or upload an image of it, enter the verification code, and the signature is stamped at the position you marked.
Can I sign a PDF myself, without sending it to anyone?
Yes. You can add yourself as the only signer: place your signature area, receive the link in your email and sign. The result still includes the certificate with the full audit trail.
Can the signature be placed on several pages of the document?
Yes. A single signer can have several signature areas spread across the document — handy when you merge several contracts into one PDF — and signs only once: the signature is stamped at every one of their positions.
