Why sign a PDF online
Printing a document, signing it by hand and then scanning it takes time and often produces a blurry file. Here, you e-sign PDF documents directly: the signature goes exactly where you want, at the right size, and the document stays sharp. You can also add today's date or a note like "Read and approved".
This is a simple electronic signature, without a certificate: it works for everyday uses like an order form, a certificate or a letter. Some legal documents require an advanced or qualified electronic signature, issued by a trusted provider. If in doubt, check with the person or organization asking you to sign.
