Help for the document on your desk
Practical guides for returning a signed document: prepare PDFs, place signatures, check backgrounds, review pages, and understand this tool’s limits.
Sign a PDF from start to finish
Start with the PDF you need to return. This workspace keeps the document at the center of the task: choose a file, add your mark, check every placement, and export a copy.

A photograph of a signature usually includes paper around the ink. Remove that background before placement so the signature does not cover a form line with a white rectangle.

A signature should fit the document it is placed on. Backgrounds matter when the signature line crosses colored cells, printed rules, or other page details.

The signing workspace accepts PDFs. If your document is still in Word, decide whether you need an editable Word file or a signed PDF to return to the recipient.
Read the guide →DOCUMENT WORKFLOWChoose the workflow your recipient needs
Before opening a document, check how the recipient expects it to be signed. This site helps you place a visible signature image onto a PDF; that is only one kind of signing workflow.

A PDF form may offer a narrow line, a boxed field, or a full-width signing area. Choose a mark that remains clear inside that space before spending time on decorative details.
