I have to say though that with the Adobe software digitizing it right was quite a bit more challenging, but it works and we need it only once (for most situations at least). Step 2 – Create a Electronic Signature (one time only)ĭigitizing your handwritten signature works about the same in Adobe Acrobat Reader as it does in MacOS X Preview.

If this is, for whatever reason, not the case, then simply open Acrobat Reader and use “ File” “ Open” or CTRL+O to open the PDF Form. Normally, after installing Acrobat Reader, PDF files should be associated with it, so a double click on the PDF Form should open it in Acrobat Reader. Note : If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, then please download and install it now (screenshots are based on version XI) from the Adobe Reader website for free. Step 1 – Open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader Well, that is if you’re not having a too old version of course.

Mac OS X – Preview – Your document with Handwritten SignatureĪdobe Acrobat Reader, available for free for Windows and other platforms, and does support signatures as well. I have had good experiences with a black pen, but a blue pen will work as well. You do of course have the option to remove the signature after you used it – most certainly something to consider when you’re not the only person using this computer or if a computer is publicly accessible.įirst grab a piece of white paper and write your signature on it. Note: This step is only needed the first time you want to place a signature on a PDF, for this particular computer. Step 2 – Create a Electronic Signature (one time only) Otherwise, open Preview, and use the File menu to open the file. If you haven’t installed any other PDF reader, then simply double clicking the PDF will do the trick as Preview is by default set as the PDF reader under MacOS X. Preview has the tendency to save changes to the original (who came up with THAT stupid idea?).Īnyhow … open the original and choose “File” “Duplicate”, or simply duplicate the original in The Finder. I strongly recommend working with a copy of the PDF you’re about to edit.
