Signing a PDF well
Six small habits that keep a signed document clean and easy for the other side to accept.
Sign on the line, not near it
The page is shown at full width, so drag the signature until it sits on the signature line, then use the size slider to match the writing around it.
Date it where the form asks
Use Add date for a date in the same style, or Add text for a printed name, a title or an initials box. Each item is its own picture that you can move or remove.
Sign the right page
Many contracts want a signature on the last page and initials on the others. Use the page arrows, add an item on each page that needs one, and check them before you download.
Keep the original file
The tool saves a new file with -signed in its name and leaves the original untouched. Keep both, and send the signed copy only to the person who asked for it.
Use a signature that looks like yours
A drawn signature is closest to a pen. A typed one is easier to read. Either way, use the one you would use on paper, because the other side may compare it with earlier documents.
Know what a picture can prove
A signature added this way is a picture on the page. It does not prove who made it or when. If you need a record of who signed and when, use a tool that keeps one.
What it does, and what it does not
A picture of a signature is the right tool for many documents and the wrong one for some. Know which you have.
