A visual signature on your own copy
Signing a PDF here means placing an image of your signature on the page, the same as signing a printout and scanning it, without the printer. Draw it with a mouse, finger or pen, type your name in a handwriting style, or upload a photo of your signature and let a white background fall away. Tap the page to place it, drag it into position, resize it, and add your own date or a line of text such as your name or initials. Place it on as many pages as the document needs, and undo any step. The signature is embedded in a new PDF in your browser, so the signature and the document are never uploaded, and the original text stays selectable. This is a visual signature. It is not a certified or cryptographic digital signature, so check whether the recipient requires one.
