Add a Signature to PDF: Sign Papers Faster
Printing and scanning every delivery receipt slows down routine work. Utilgo Add a signature to PDF lets you place a drawn signature or an uploaded signature image directly on the page. The whole process runs in your browser. The PDF limit is 10 MB and 50 pages. The added signature is only a visual mark and is not a qualified electronic signature, so it may be rejected for formal paperwork.
Step by step
- Check that the PDF you want to sign is within the 10 MB and 50 page limit.
- Open the tool, load the file, and go to the page with the signature box.
- Draw your signature with a mouse or touchpad, or upload a scanned image.
- Drag the signature into the correct box, resize it and place it on the page.
- Download the file under a new name and verify legibility.
Example scenario
A building clerk signs dozens of cargo delivery receipts every day. He opens the receipt in the tool and places his drawn signature into the box. After completing the date and name fields, he saves the file with a new name. He emails the signed receipt and keeps the unsigned template for future deliveries.
Check your result
After signing, confirm the signature sits in the right box and remains legible. Check that date and name fields are complete. Remember this is not a qualified electronic signature; get approval from the receiving party for formal paperwork. Archive the sent copy and do not share your signature image.
