If you want to trace the approval process for a document or need numerous people to sign it, adding multiple signatures to a PDF document can be helpful. To add multiple signatures to a PDF document, follow these steps:
- Start by opening the PDF file in a free PDF editor like PDFelement or Adobe Acrobat.
- Select “Add Signature” from the toolbar by clicking the “Sign” tab.
- Select one of the available methods for adding your signature, such as typing it in or drawing it with a mouse or finger on the screen.
- Position and resize the signature where you want it to appear on the document.
- Follow these instructions once more to add each additional signature to the document.
- Save the PDF file with the added signatures.
The recipients must open the PDF file in an application that accepts digital signatures, such as Adobe Acrobat or a suitable PDF reader, in order to sign it. Users can then sign the document immediately on the signature line using a mouse or a stylus.
Remember that adding signatures to a PDF document does not give those signatures any security or authenticity. Consider adopting a more secure technique, such as an electronic signature service or a digital certificate, if you need to confirm the legitimacy and integrity of the signatures.
These methods make it simple to add multiple signatures to a PDF document and have the document electronically signed by several parties. This may be a practical technique to monitor the signature process for a document or to gather signatures from a number of individuals.
