Signing a PDF Document Using Adobe Acrobat Reader

1. Open the .pdf file that you want to sign in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on "File" then "Open".

 

2. Browse to the location of the file that you wish to open. Select the file then double-click on it or press the "Open" button to open it.

 

3. After opening the file the "Fill & Sign" icon will appear on the top toolbar (highlighted here in yellow). Click on the icon to open the Fill & Sign menu.

 

4. The Fill & Sign menu will open and below it options to "Add Signature" and "Add Initials" will appear. Select the "Add Signature" option to add your signature. If the options do not appear or go away simply click the "Sign" icon to bring them back.

 

5. After clicking "Add Signature" a box will pop up for you to type in your name.

 

6. After entering your name you may change the appearance of your signature using the "Change Style" option on the right. After you have completed typing your name and setting your signature's style click the "Apply" at the bottom of the box. You only need to enter and style your name one time, as once your signature is saved it will be added to the drop-down menu after clicking on the "Sign" icon in place of the "Add Signature" option.

 

7. You can now drag and drop your signature to where you would like to place it. Clicking on the small or large "A" will change the size of the signature. You can also drag the small square on the lower right of the box to resize freely. If your documents require multiple signatures you can simply click the "Sign" icon again and place another.

 

8. After you have completed positioning and resizing your signature you can click "Close" on the Fill & Sign toolbar.

 

Your signature has now been added to the document. You may save or continue to work on it.
