Have a PDF open?
Open Sign PDFSigning a PDF takes three steps: create a signature, place it, save the file. You can draw it with a mouse or finger, type your name in a script style, or upload an image of a signature you already have.
Place the signature on the signature line and resize it so it sits on the line without covering text. Save a copy under a new name so the unsigned original stays available.
A drawn or typed signature is a visual mark. If the other side requires a certificate-based digital signature, ask them which one they accept.
