Signing PDFs with Adobe EchoSign Electronic Signature
You can sign a document to attest to its contents or approve the document. Based on the intent, you use different types
of signatures.
This document provides instructions for Acrobat XI. If you're using Adobe Reader, see What can I do with Adobe
Reader. If you're using Acrobat X, see Acrobat X Help. And, if you're using Acrobat 7, 8, or 9, see previous versions of
Acrobat Help.
Sign a PDF
To sign a PDF, you can type, draw, or insert an image of your handwritten signature. You can also add text, such as your
name, company, title, or the date. When your document is complete, the signature and text become part of the PDF.
For more information about setting up a digital ID for certificate-based signatures, see Certificate-based signatures.
Complete your edits before you sign. Changes made to the document after it is signed can invalidate the signature.
1 Open the PDF you want to sign.
2 Choose Sign > I Need To Sign.
3 To add text, such as your name, company, title, or date, click Add Text in the I Need To Sign panel. Click in the
document where you want to add the text, and type.
Very advise you to visit a site that has a lot of information on the topic interests you.
