Step-by-step guide: How to sign a PDF without printing it

Step by step, and if something goes wrong

Steps

  1. Drop the PDF you need to sign.
  2. Draw your signature, type your name, or upload a picture of it.
  3. Click the page where it goes (or use “Add to this page”), drag or use the arrow keys to adjust, then select Download signed PDF.

If something goes wrong

  • Use the page arrows to sign more than one page; you can place several signatures.
  • Keyboard users: type your name in the Type tab, then select a placed signature and use the arrow keys and + or −.
  • Your signature is never saved or uploaded. It exists only in this tab until you leave the page.
  • This is a visual signature, not a certificate-based digital signature.
  • Password-protected PDFs can’t be opened directly. If you know the password, remove it first with Unlock PDF.
  • If a PDF is reported as damaged, try opening it and saving a fresh copy with your PDF reader.
  • Scripts, embedded attachments and automatic actions are removed from the output for safety. Links to websites are kept.
