Add the visible signature

  1. Choose the PDF and create signature artwork by typing, drawing, uploading, or using the optional phone handoff.
  2. Inspect the mark at normal page size and confirm it does not include an unwanted image background.
  3. Place and resize the visible mark on the required page or pages.

Visible signature artwork versus digital signing

Adds visible artwork, not a certificate-backed digital signature or identity verification. Optional phone pairing transfers only signature PNG data.
