Step 1: Prepare Your Signature
The first thing you need to do is prepare your signature. There are two ways you can do this:
- Option 1: Sign a blank piece of paper and scan it.
- Option 2: Use a digital signature tool to create an electronic signature.
Choose the option that works best for you and make sure you have the digital file ready for the next step.
Step 2: Open the Document in Adobe
Now that your signature is ready, open the document you want to sign in Adobe. Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.
Step 3: Access the Signature Tool
In the top toolbar of Adobe Acrobat Reader, click on the “Fill & Sign” option. This will open a sidebar on the right side of your screen with various tools.
Step 4: Add Your Signature
Within the “Fill & Sign” sidebar, click on the “Sign” button. This will reveal different options for adding your signature:
- Option 1: Click the “Draw” tab to sign with your mouse or touchpad. Use your cursor to draw your signature in the provided box.
- Option 2: Click the “Image” tab to upload a scanned image of your signature. Locate the digital file you prepared in Step 1 and select it.
- Option 3: Click the “Type” tab to type your name and select a font that closely resembles your signature. Customize the size and style to achieve a realistic look.
Choose the option that suits you best and follow the prompts to add your signature to the document.
Step 5: Position and Resize Your Signature
The next step is to position and resize your signature to fit the designated space in the document. Click and drag the corners of the signature box to adjust its size and use the center handle to move it around.
Step 6: Save and Share
Once you are satisfied with the placement of your signature, save the document by clicking on the disk icon in the top toolbar. Choose a location on your computer to save the signed document.
You can now easily share your signed document via email or any other preferred method, without the need for printing, signing, and rescanning.
