Good to know

You can fill supported form fields and add a visible signature appearance. It does not create a certificate-based digital signature, verify identity or send signature requests.

Your original file stays unchanged. Check your downloaded result before sharing it.

Place your name on a document before returning it

When the recipient accepts a typed name, you can add yours to a plain PDF without printing it. Choose a position near the signature area and check the preview carefully. Ask the recipient which signing method they require before using the result.

Common questions

Can I draw or upload my handwritten signature?
You can use Draw to make a handwritten mark directly on the page, or Signature to place your typed name in italic text. Both can be moved in the editor. Uploading a signature image is not supported.
Does this create a certificate-based digital signature?
No. It adds a visible mark to the document. It does not verify identity, create a signing certificate, provide an audit trail or send signature requests to other people.
Can I sign an interactive PDF form?
Yes, for supported forms. Open one PDF, use Fill form to complete its text fields and checkboxes, then Signature or Draw to add a visible mark. The download keeps the form fields interactive. This does not apply a digital signature to a signature field. Encrypted or already digitally signed documents are unsupported.
