Did you ever need to sign a PDF document, like that registration or application form that you needed to submit online?

In the past, you probably had to print the form, fill and sign it, and either scan it or send a hard copy to wherever it needed to go. Besides needing a printer and a scanner, the whole process was just too time consuming.

Now there is a far easier way to sign forms, contracts or applications. You can simply use PDFfiller to create digital signatures, store them and sign PDF documents.

To get started, upload a PDF document to your account, open it in the editor, and click the Sign button in the main toolbar.

This will open the Signature Wizard that allows you to type, draw, upload, capture a signature with a webcam, or sign the document on a mobile device.

To type a signature, click the T icon and type your name. Click Save and Use to use the signature immediately or Save to use it later. In both cases, the signature will be stored in the Signature Wizard.

Click where you need to place the signature. Use the mini toolbar to resize the signature or change its position.

To draw a signature, click the fountain pen icon and use your mouse or trackpad to draw your signature by clicking and dragging. You can also change the color and thickness of the signature.

Place and save the signature exactly where you want it to appear.

To sign with your finger, click on mobile device and enter your phone number or email address. Open the link you receive via text message or email on your phone, and follow the instructions to sign with your finger.

To capture a signature, click the webcam icon and allow PDFfiller access to your camera. Then simply sign a piece of paper and hold it up to the camera, so the signature fits inside the blue box. You can then choose to make adjustments to the scan, or use the signature as-is.

To upload a signature, click the arrow icon and navigate to an image of your signature on your computer. Just like with capture, you can then choose to use the signature as-is, or make changes. Available edits include crop, brightness, contrast, flip, rotate, and auto-adjust.

PDFfiller can verify your signature with a stamp showing the date when you signed the document. To show the stamp, just click its icon.

You can create as many signatures as you like and store them in the wizard. Your signatures will automatically appear in the Signature Wizard, ready to be used any time you need to sign a document. You can also remove any signature with the trash can icon.
