How to sign a PDF

Signing a PDF online should be simple. With PDFSigned, you can upload the file, add your signature, place it on the document, and export the finished PDF without using extra desktop software.

Step-by-step

1

Upload your PDF

Open the signer and choose the PDF you want to complete. Once uploaded, the document will load in the browser so you can review it before placing your signature.

2

Create or upload your signature

Use your preferred signature option, then prepare it for placement on the document. This gives you a signature image that can be added to the correct page.

3

Place the signature where it belongs

Move the signature box onto the document and position it where the signature line or signature block appears. Adjust the size as needed.

4

Export the finished PDF

After reviewing the document, export the signed PDF so you have a completed copy ready to save, share, or email.

Tips for a cleaner signing workflow

Review the document before exporting to make sure the signature is placed in the correct location and sized appropriately for the page.

If the PDF has more than one page, scroll through the document and verify that every required signature point has been completed before finishing the file.

Once the document is ready, export the signed PDF or move into your email workflow if you need to send the completed file right away.
