Inserting a signature into a PDF is the process of adding a digital representation of a handwritten signature to a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. This is commonly required for legal agreements, contracts, and other official documents.
The ability to insert signatures into PDFs has greatly simplified document signing processes. Before this feature, physical signatures were required, which involved printing, signing, scanning, and returning the document. Digital signatures streamline this process, offering convenience, efficiency, and enhanced security.
