How to Electronically Sign a PDF

The old way to sign a document was to print it, sign with a pen, scan it back, and email it. An electronic signature skips all of that: you drop your signature image onto the PDF and send it straight back.

An electronic signature like this is perfect for everyday agreements — approvals, forms, and letters. (For legally binding contracts that require identity verification, a dedicated e-signature service with an audit trail is the right tool.)

To sign a PDF with PdfWill: open the Sign PDF tool, upload your document, add your signature image, drag it to the right spot and resize it, then download. The whole process happens in your browser.

Before sending a signed file, consider adding a watermark or a password with the protect tool so it cannot be altered or opened by the wrong person.
