Visual versus digital
A placed signature image shows intent but does not provide certificate-based tamper evidence. Check the recipient’s legal or process requirements.

The signing workspace places a visual mark on a PDF page. It is useful for routine approvals where a drawn or typed signature is accepted by the recipient.
A visual signature is not automatically a cryptographic digital signature. Regulated, court, government or high-value transactions may require an identity-verified signing service instead.

How to use Sign PDF

- 2
Create or import the signature, then position and size it carefully.

Save the result and confirm the mark is on the correct page before sending.
Avoid accidental disclosure
A saved signature image can be reused by anyone who obtains it. Store reusable signature files as carefully as other identity documents.
Final review
Inspect names, dates, initials and every required signature field. The tool cannot know whether the agreement is complete.
Important limitation
This tool produces a visual PDF edit. It does not verify identity, issue certificates, timestamp a signature or guarantee legal acceptance in any jurisdiction.
Questions about Sign PDF
Is this a qualified electronic signature?
No. It is a visual signature placement tool, not a qualified trust service.
Can I type instead of draw?
Yes, the workspace offers visual signature options; availability can depend on the browser.
Will the original be changed?
No. Downloading creates a separate edited file.
