About the Sign PDF
Sign PDF lets you add your handwritten signature to any PDF without printing and scanning. Draw it with your finger on a phone or with a mouse, or type your name and pick a handwriting-style font, then click on the page where the signature should go. You can place it on several pages, move it and change its size.
The signature is stamped into the PDF as an image, which is what most offices, landlords and HR teams mean by "sign and send back". Everything happens in your browser: the file never leaves your phone or computer, is not uploaded to any server and is not stored by News Appite.
How to use the Sign PDF
- Choose the PDF to sign.
- Draw your signature in the box, or switch to "Type" and enter your name.
- Click on a page preview to place the signature; drag to move it and use the size slider.

Tips & benchmarks
- Draw slowly and a little larger than normal; the signature is scaled down cleanly when placed.
- A drawn signature image is not a certified digital signature (DSC). Tax filings, MCA and tenders that require a DSC need a certificate-based signature.
- Add the date next to your signature by typing it with the "Type" option and placing it as a second stamp.
