Manage Documents¶

Create a signature¶

When you first attempt to sign a document using Adobe Acrobat Sign, you are prompted to create and save your signature for future use as well. At any time you can modify or delete your saved signature.

To create a signature:

Open a document and tap
Tap on the signature field.
In the Signature dialog that opens, create your signature using one of the following methods:
- Type: Type your signature.
- Draw: Draw your signature.
- Image: Tap the image icon, select an image, and choose Done.
Check Save if you want to reuse this signature. Note that the label may vary based on whether you’re logged in.
Tap Done.

Note

If the camera or photo access is blocked, see Allow access to camera, photos, and more. To change or clear a signature, see Change your signature.

Save a signature¶
