Physically printing, signing, and re-scanning a PDF is 2010 workflow. Modern PDF tooling lets you add text boxes and signature overlays right on top of the page.
Typing directly on the page
Drop a text box wherever you need it — form field, empty line, or a note in the margin. Text boxes are transparent by default, so they don't cover the underlying page.
Adding a signature
Draw your signature with a mouse or trackpad, or upload a photo of one. Place it, resize it, done. The result exports as a fresh, clean PDF.
FAQ
Is a typed or drawn signature legally valid?
In many jurisdictions, yes, for most business documents. For high-stakes contracts, check whether qualified e-signature services are required.
Can I edit the underlying text?
Our editor overlays new content on top of the page. To edit source text, convert the PDF to Word first.
