How to add a signature block to a PDF.
It doesn’t have to be difficult to add a place for people to sign your PDF documents. Learn how to add a signature block quickly and easily.
Because so many documents are now stored digitally instead of as paper files, you should also have an equally effortless way for people to sign documents without having to first print them. Signature blocks can help you with that. It’s easy to add one on a PDF document to create a space just for signing while leaving the rest of the document protected.
Steps to add a signature block to a PDF.
It’s easy to sign a PDF with a signature block. Once you have fillable blocks created on a PDF, your customers or partners can add their electronic signatures with just a few quick clicks. Signature blocks help you to both know who’s signed and keep the signatures in the right spot on your document. Plus, you can add as many blocks as needed.
