Tips
Drawing with a finger on a phone usually looks more natural than with a mouse. For an uploaded signature, sign in dark ink on white paper and photograph it in good light.
Add the date with the text option if the form asks for it.
Is it legally valid?
In many countries a simple electronic signature is accepted for everyday agreements, but rules vary and some documents need a certified digital signature or a wet signature. Check with the person asking for it if you are unsure.
Common questions
Is my signature stored?
No. It is added to the file on your device and not sent anywhere.
Can I sign on several pages?
Yes. Place the signature on each page that needs it.
Can someone edit it afterwards?
Use Flatten PDF after signing so the signature becomes part of the page.
