Add a drawn signature to a PDF

Use the Signature controls in the FOLD editor and verify the downloaded result.

Before you start

A PDF you have permission to edit and a saved original copy.

1. Open and inspect

Open the PDF editor and choose your document. Navigate to the correct page and zoom in until the target area is clear.

2. Use Signature

Draw the signature in the signature box, choose the ink colour and place the result beside the correct name or date.

3. Download a new copy

Review the edited page, open the download dialog and save a separate file. Inspect the downloaded file rather than relying only on the preview.

Check the result

Inspect the page, signature position and surrounding fields in the downloaded file.

What to know

A drawn signature image is not a certificate-backed digital signature. The source stores it for the current session only.
