Sign PDF: Electronic Signatures vs Digital Signatures
Learn what a visible PDF signature can and cannot prove.
Visible signature placement
A drawn or typed signature displayed on a PDF is a visual mark. It does not automatically verify identity or provide certificate-based tamper detection.
Signing a PDF
Use Sign PDF to upload the document, add an available signature mark, position it clearly, and save the result. Confirm the exported document opens correctly.
When verification matters
Some workflows require identity verification, certificate-backed digital signatures, audit trails, or a qualified trust service. Check the recipient’s requirements before assuming a simple PDF signature is sufficient.
Good practice
Review the complete document before signing. Keep an original copy and avoid uploading sensitive information unless you understand the tool’s processing and privacy limits.
Use a non-sensitive test file first, then check the exported result before sharing.
