Why teams use Sign PDF
Signing a PDF for personal use, a one-off client deliverable, or an internal sign-off doesn't justify the cost or setup of a full e-signature platform. This tool lets you draw a signature with your mouse or trackpad, type your name in a handwriting font, or upload an existing signature image, then place it anywhere on the page with drag-and-resize precision. Initials, date stamps, and printed-name text fields can be added in the same pass.
Once placed, the signature is flattened into the page content so it cannot be moved or removed by the recipient — the signed PDF is final. Multiple signatures can be added (useful for documents with multiple signatories filling in sequence), and the signed file works in every PDF reader without any account or DRM check. For legal-evidential signing, the tool produces a flattened image of the signature; for cryptographic e-signing with a certificate, use a dedicated e-signature platform.
Used for signing engagement letters, returning signed contracts, completing forms, signing off internal approvals, and any quick personal signing task. Files run over TLS, are deleted within an hour, and never logged.
