Sign Documents

By Cynthia, 7 December, 2025

A PDF is signed to indicate your approval. The signature is flattened, so it cannot be resized and moved after signing the document. Multiple people can sign a PDF more than once. When you sign a document, your digital signature appears in the signature field. The appearance of the signature depends on your preferences.

  1. Sign a PDF after placing, please choose one of the followings to sign the document:
  • Choose Protect > Sign & Certify > Sign Document.
  • Select the Hand command and right-click the signature, choose Sign Document.
  • Select the Hand command, and click the signature.
  1. Type file name and specify location in pop-up Save As dialog box.

Note: By default, the document is signed after you place the signature. To change the setting, please uncheck the Sign the document immediately after signature is placed option in File > Preferences > Signature.
