<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to sign a PDF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Open the tool and upload your PDF<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Go to PDFNeo Sign PDF<\/a>. Drag in the PDF you need to sign, or click to browse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a signature canvas on the page. Use your mouse or stylus to write your signature directly. Not happy with it? Hit “Clear” and try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The default position is roughly upper-center on the page. Most signature lines are near the bottom, so you’ll likely need to increase the Y value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hit the button. Your signature gets embedded into the PDF. Download the new file \u2014 your original stays untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Position X and Y use PDF coordinates, not pixels. The defaults (X:350, Y:100) place the signature roughly in the upper-center area. For most contracts where the signature line is at the bottom-right, try something like X:400, Y:680 (for an A4 page) and fine-tune from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Width controls how big the signature appears. 200 is the default and works for most cases. Too big? Make it smaller. Too small? Make it bigger. Anywhere from 50 to 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It depends on your country and the type of document. This tool embeds a handwritten signature image onto the PDF page \u2014 that’s an electronic signature (e-signature), not a digital signature backed by a certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Electronic signatures work fine for most everyday scenarios: internal documents, informal agreements, approval workflows. But for formal legal documents, some jurisdictions require digitally certified signatures. If you’re unsure, check the legal requirements that apply to your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. The signature canvas supports touch input, so you can draw your signature with your finger on a phone or tablet. Larger screens give better results \u2014 tablet > phone > desktop mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything runs locally in your browser. Your PDF never gets uploaded to any server. The signature is generated and embedded on your device. No third party can see your signature or file contents. Close the tab and nothing is stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before clicking “Sign PDF,” you can clear the canvas and redraw anytime. After clicking, the signature is already embedded \u2014 you can’t remove it separately. You’d need to re-upload the original file and sign again. So double-check the position and signature before confirming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to sign? Open\u00a0PDFNeo Sign PDF<\/a>, upload, draw, position, download.
