Electronic Signatures

Rather than print out the document, sign it, scan it and email it. There is a faster way to do this.
Yes with electronic signature, it will save your time. We can add the signature to any PDF documents,
Saving it as a standard PDF file that can be ready anywhere.

Adobe Reader has a good, integrated digital signature support. How it works:
1.   Open PDF document that we need to sign in Adobe Reader
2.   Click Sign button at the top-right corner
3.   Choose Place Signature option to use a real signature
Few choices:
Type my signature: Type your name and Adobe Reader will automatically generate something that looks like a signature from it.
Use a webcam: Sign your name in black ink on white paper and scan it with webcam. Adobe Reader will use webcam to capture its shape. This will be a ideal option for most people.
Draw my signature: Draw signature with mouse.
Use an image: Sign a signature to a piece of paper and use a scanner to scan it to computer, then crop it and create an image file from it.
4.  After choose one of few options from above, use Place Signature button to insert and position it anywhere in a PDF document. We only have to scan in the signature once and after can use it in other documents.
5.  Save PDF file using standard save option under the file menu. This will create a new PDF file with the same name as the original PDF, but with signature at the end.

Adobe Reader generates a new signature that matches the shape of our signature, so it can be inserted cleanly into other documents. Hope it helps.
