One thing that has gotten easier is signing documents. Now you can skip the drive or wait for something to arrive in the mail and sign digitally instead. Here’s how:

First, consider your signature

Even in the digital age, a handwritten signature provides a personal touch. Don’t use your mouse or trackpad. It never looks right.

Instead, sign a piece of paper and save it on your device using your smartphone’s camera or your webcam. You can then import that image into any PDF or other document. Tap or click here for in-depth steps, including the size and ratio to aim for.

Here's a pro tip: Having two different signatures is a good idea. One is reserved for signing in person and the other for signing electronically.

The two signatures can be pretty much the same. Just modify one with an extra dot or some other subtle variation. This way, if someone ever uses your signature without your permission or knowledge, it’ll be easy to figure out just by looking at it.

One more thing to keep in mind: If you’re signing legal documents, they typically require a secured digital signature using a service such as DocuSign or Adobe Sign.

If you’re using Adobe

Adobe Reader is one of the most common PDF applications out there. There are also Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Acrobat Sign that work similarly.

To sign a document, open the PDF and look for the Sign icon in the top toolbar. It looks like the nib of a pen. It should be in the toolbar at the top of the application. You can also go to Tools > Fill & Sign.
