How do I sign a PDF?

  1. Open the PDF above: the Signature tool is already selected.
  2. Create your signature in one of three ways:
    • Draw it with a mouse, a finger on a phone or a stylus on a tablet;
    • Import a photo of your signature on white paper; the background is made transparent;
    • Type your name in a handwriting font.
    Choose black or blue ink. Tick “Remember my signature on this device” to reuse it next time.
  3. Place it by clicking on the page, then adjust its size and position with the Select tool.
  4. Add what else is needed: today's date and “Read and approved” with Stamps, your name or place with the Text tool, initials copied onto every page.
  5. Download the signed PDF: the signature is merged into the page and looks the same everywhere.

Tips

  • For a clean imported signature, photograph it in daylight, on white paper, written with a black felt-tip pen.
  • Contracts often require initials on every page: place them once, then use “copy to all pages”.
  • The remembered signature stays in this browser only. On a shared computer, leave the option unticked.

Frequently asked questions

Is a signature added to a PDF legally valid?

It is a digitised handwritten signature, like a scanned one: it is accepted for many everyday documents (quotes, forms, order forms), depending on what the other party requires. It is not a qualified electronic signature under the EU eIDAS regulation, which some deeds require.

Is my document uploaded to a server?

No. Your browser opens and edits the PDF; nothing is sent anywhere, which suits personal documents (employment contract, lease, ID).

Can I sign a PDF on my phone?

Yes: open this page on your phone, draw your signature with your finger, place it and download the PDF.
