Digital signature is a great convenience, you can not deny it.\u00a0In the past, when this tool was not so popular, you had to print an impressive number of documents then sign them manually and scan them off to send them by email.\u00a0Fortunately, since your digital signature has been valid in Dubai, you have streamlined your work.<\/p>\n
Now, however, it is for a while that you do not do this and you are not sure how to remember\u00a0how to\u00a0<\/strong>insert the signature as an image in a PDF document.\u00a0<\/strong>From the moment you need to carry out this process to perform a major job, you want to make sure you do not miss it;\u00a0looking for new information on the Internet, you came across this guide, hoping to receive my help.<\/p>\n Did I get it?\u00a0I imagined.\u00a0Well, if things really are that way, you’ll be happy to know that, thanks to my vast knowledge of the technology world, I can help you.\u00a0To enter the signature as an image in a PDF file, you can use some PC and Mac software, but wait, that’s not all.\u00a0The technology evolution has allowed the development of some online tools that can accomplish this task.\u00a0Also, since we are in a digital era in which the smartphone has become our day-to-day technology companion, you’ll be able to do the same on your mobile device.\u00a0Yes you have understood well and I will tell you more: during this tutorial I will explain how to do all the situations mentioned.\u00a0Are you ready?\u00a0I’m getting started: I wish you a good read.<\/p>\n If you are looking for a complete program for managing your PDF, which also has the ability to enter a digital signature within the file itself, then I recommend Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, available for Windows and MacOS for payment. Therefore, If you are interested in this program, you can download the 7 day evaluation version so you can also evaluate all of its many major features.\u00a0If you prefer a completely\u00a0free <\/strong>solution\u00a0, then I recommend Adobe Reader, available both for Windows and MacOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n Both programs will allow you to add a digital signature in image format or even freehand.\u00a0Did I curious you?\u00a0Well, then keep reading so you can explain how to download, install and use these programs.<\/p>\n First, if you want to download\u00a0Adobe Acrobat Pro DC<\/strong>\u00a0(paid version) you will need to reach the official manufacturer site.\u00a0Now you need to click on the\u00a0Go<\/strong>button\u00a0, which will allow you to access the download version download page.\u00a0On the next screen that will be presented to you, you will be asked to enter the credentials of your\u00a0Adobe ID<\/strong>\u00a0account\u00a0.\u00a0If you do not own one, just click on the lower right to\u00a0create an Adobe ID<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0After registering and logging in, you will be directed to a new page, which will allow you to automatically download the\u00a0acrobatproDC_XXX.exe<\/strong>\u00a0(Windows) or\u00a0acrobatproDC_XXX.dmg file<\/strong>(macOS), based on the operating system you are using.\u00a0Now that you’ve downloaded the file to your computer, you’ll just have to start the installation process so you can start using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.<\/p>\n To download instead\u00a0Adobe Reader<\/strong>\u00a0(completely free version) just reach this\u00a0link and click the yellow button at the bottom right\u00a0Install Now<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If you do not want to install additional software, disable all the boxes on that page before downloading and then installing.<\/p>\n To start the program, click the\u00a0Start Acrobat<\/strong>\u00a0(Pro version) or\u00a0Terminate<\/strong>\u00a0(free version) button of the installer window or double-click the icon that you will find on your\u00a0Desktop<\/strong>\u00a0(or\u00a0Desk<\/strong>\u00a0).<\/p>\n Now open your PDF, double-clicking the file, or alternatively, click\u00a0File> Open<\/strong>from the top menu bar to select the PDF file you want to open.\u00a0Your PDF will be visible on the main screen at the center of the program.<\/p>\n To add a digital signature to your PDF file, click the\u00a0Tools<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0and, by scrolling down, click the button with the\u00a0pencil symbol<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a0Compile and Signature<\/strong>\u00a0).\u00a0You will find the same button in the menu on the right of the screen.\u00a0Wait a few seconds to load to enable functionality.<\/p>\n You can now decide how to continue to sign your PDF document.\u00a0In the horizontal menu bar, you’ll see a\u00a0Signature<\/strong>\u00a0button at the center\u00a0.\u00a0After clicking on it, you will be asked if you want to add your initials (\u00a0Add Initials<\/strong>\u00a0) or add an Extended\u00a0Signature<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a0Add Signature<\/strong>\u00a0).<\/p>\n Selecting\u00a0Add Signature<\/strong>\u00a0will then show you a new screen for entering your digital signature.\u00a0You can proceed by entering the signature by typing on your keyboard your first and last name (\u00a0Digit<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0), drawing it by hand (\u00a0Draw<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0) or by simply inserting an image of your signature already scanned by yourself (\u00a0Image<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0).<\/p>\n Then select the last tab so that a new window will appear for you to search for your signature image file on your computer.\u00a0A preview of your signature will be shown in the center pane.\u00a0Click the\u00a0Save Signature<\/strong>\u00a0box\u00a0if you want to use it for future PDF documents to sign.\u00a0Press the\u00a0Apply<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0to return to your document and decide, by moving the mouse, where to place the signature within the PDF.\u00a0If the entered signature is bigger (or smaller) than the signature field on your PDF document, you can resize it using the\u00a0square<\/strong>\u00a0in the lower right corner of the frame that encloses the signature itself.<\/p>\n When you are satisfied with your work, press the\u00a0button in the form of a disk<\/strong>on the top left to save the signed document.<\/p>\n Although iOS has a native feature available to apply digital signatures, using your finger on the screen to trace it, however, if you want to apply digital signature from an image you will need to use an app.<\/p>\n In this case, I recommend Adobe Fill & Sign, available for\u00a0free<\/strong>\u00a0on iOS via the\u00a0App Store\u00a0.\u00a0This app supports inserting an image that contains a signature on any of your documents, including those in PDF format.\u00a0There is also\u00a0Android\u00a0version\u00a0, but it supports signing only through using your finger to sign.<\/p>\n Download the app on your smartphone from the link I provided you.\u00a0Then tap on the\u00a0Open<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0to open the application.\u00a0You will now have to tap the screen close to the\u00a0icon of a sheet with the (+) symbol.\u00a0<\/strong>Then choose how to import your PDF file to your application: from a PDF file on your phone (\u00a0File Browser<\/strong>\u00a0), from an image in your photo gallery (\u00a0Roll<\/strong>\u00a0) or by taking a photo of a document at a time (\u00a0Take photo<\/strong>\u00a0).\u00a0You can also import documents from an email attachment, URL address, or web search. If you require permission to access your device’s memory, you agree to that request.<\/p>\n After you import the file on the application, this will be displayed, ready to be signed to you.\u00a0Then tap the button with the\u00a0token symbol of a fountain pen <\/strong>and select\u00a0Create Signature<\/strong>\u00a0to Add a Full Signature or\u00a0Create Initials<\/strong>\u00a0to Add Initials.\u00a0Tap on\u00a0Create signature<\/strong>\u00a0to open a new window for entering your signature.<\/p>\n Since you need to add your signature from an image, you need to press one of the two buttons below: button with the\u00a0camera symbol<\/strong>\u00a0or button with the\u00a0symbol of an image<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0By selecting\u00a0the camera symbol<\/strong>\u00a0, you can open the camera of your iOS device<\/a> so you can take a photo to your signature.\u00a0Then frame the signature and press the\u00a0round button<\/strong>\u00a0to shoot.\u00a0You will be given the option, through a box, to select the area where the signature is present.<\/p>\n If you choose to import the signature from an image in your device’s gallery, you’ll need to tap the button with the\u00a0symbol of an image<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Again, after you have found and selected the image, you will need to highlight the area where the signature is located.\u00a0Then\u00a0press Finish<\/strong>\u00a0to return to the sign-in screen and see a preview of your signed signature.<\/p>\n If you like, click\u00a0Finish<\/strong>\u00a0and move the signature to the position you want within your document.\u00a0Once you’ve completed the procedure,\u00a0click\u00a0<\/strong>Finish<\/strong>\u00a0again\u00a0or use the\u00a0Sharing button<\/strong>\u00a0to import your signed external document.<\/p>\n Another app that will allow you to sign your PDF documents using an image signature is Adobe Acrobat Reader, available on Android, through the\u00a0Play Store\u00a0, and on iOS through the\u00a0App Store\u00a0.\u00a0It is completely\u00a0free<\/strong>\u00a0and will allow you to sign and submit unlimited documents.<\/p>\n First, download the app from your digital reference store, through the links I showed you.\u00a0After you have installed it, tap the\u00a0Open<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0.<\/p>\n You will now need to import your PDF document: by touching\u00a0the red button with the symbol of a folder<\/strong>\u00a0, you will have access to your device’s memory and then select the saved PDF in its memory;\u00a0Tap the\u00a0\u2630\u00a0<\/strong>symbol<\/strong>\u00a0to select the location where your PDF document is located.<\/p>\n Alternatively, from the app’s main screen, you can tap the\u00a0Document Cloud<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0if your file is in the cloud of your Adobe ID account or the\u00a0Dropbox<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0to access the Dropbox Cloud service.\u00a0After you open your PDF document, you will need to apply a digital signature.m<\/p>\n Tap the button with the\u00a0symbol of a comic<\/strong>\u00a0in the bottom bar;\u00a0then activate the\u00a0Comment<\/strong>\u00a0function\u00a0.\u00a0Then tap and hold the button on the bottom bar with the\u00a0symbol of a fountain pen<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The app will ask you to tap the screen where you want to enter your digital signature, then tap on the screen where you like.<\/p>\n A new screen for digital signing will open;\u00a0since you need to add your signature from an image, press one of the two buttons at the bottom: a button with the\u00a0camera symbol<\/strong>\u00a0or button with the\u00a0symbol of an image<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n By tapping on\u00a0the camera symbol<\/strong>\u00a0, you can sign the camera through your camera.\u00a0Check the signature and press the shutter button, then skip the signature from the photo you took out through the box that will be available to you.<\/p>\n If you choose instead to sign from an image in your device’s memory, tap the button with the\u00a0symbol of an image<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0After selecting the image, highlight the area where the signature is located.\u00a0Then\u00a0press Finish<\/strong>\u00a0to return to the sign-in screen and see a preview of your signed signature.\u00a0Tap\u00a0Finish<\/strong>\u00a0to apply the signature to the point where you picked the position.<\/p>\n If you do not want to install programs on your devices, then I can meet you and recommend a great\u00a0free<\/strong>\u00a0online tool\u00a0for you to sign your PDF documents with an image.\u00a0The tool I want to talk to is SmallPDF, accessible from its\u00a0official

from one of these two popular cloud services.<\/p>\n As soon as you have selected your PDF file, you will be shown a screen where you will need to select how to enter the digital signature: the\u00a0Draw<\/strong>\u00a0tab\u00a0will allow you to enter your signature by drawing through your trackpad or mouse;\u00a0the\u00a0Upload <\/strong>tab\u00a0will allow you to insert an image file
