Easy as 1,2,3…

Step 1: Open your document

Firstly, if you don’t already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, you’ll need to download it for Windows. Once you get to this page, select your appropriate operating system.

Step 2: Sign your document

On the toolbar, click the “Sign” button and select “Add Signature”. At this point, you can add any other information to the document that you may need to. Once you’re ready to go, you’ll have three options by which to create your signature. Adobe Reader will select a “Type” format by default, which won’t provide a hand-drawn signature, so it’s probably best to ignore that. From here, you can select between “Draw” and “Image”. For a quick and easy solution choose the “Draw” function.

Create your signature using your mouse or touchpad to free-hand draw. Click “Apply” when you are finished. Handy hint: if you’d like to access the same signature quickly in future make sure you leave the “Save Signature” box checked (you’ll now be able to find your saved signature in the “Sign” menu).

Step 3: Save & send your document

Save your signed PDF document by clicking File > Save and select a location for the file. You can now attach this document to your email and/or share as you’d like.

Finito! You’re finished in 3 easy steps!
