About Sign PDF
Need to sign a document without printing it? Our sign PDF online free tool lets you add a signature to supported PDF files directly from your browser. You can add a signature to PDF documents by creating or uploading your signature and placing it where required — on applications, agreements, forms, and business documents. An e signature PDF workflow can save time when documents need to be signed digitally instead of printed, and you can sign PDF online without printing and scanning the document.

Good to know before you start

- Some regulated processes require a qualified e-signature provider — check what your recipient accepts.
- A password-protected PDF has to be opened with Unlock PDF first; encrypted files cannot be read directly.

Digital signature PDF
A digital signature PDF can mean different things depending on the method. A visual signature image is not necessarily the same as a cryptographic digital signature; legally recognized signatures may require certificate-based signing depending on your country and document type.
