• Add Manual Signature

  • You can also add a handwritten signature for your use within Adobe Reader. To do so, click on the "Sign Yourself" button, then select either "Add Signature" or "Add Initials", depending on the type of signature you need to add.

  • A box will appear allowing you to create a signature using one of three options
  • if you select "Type", typing in the box will create a version of your typed signature that mimicks the style of handwriting of your choice. While functionally similar to just typing text using the previous tool, the font change can differentiate the text from the rest of the document. 
  • If you select "Draw", you will have the option to hand-write your own signature into the box. This is best recommended for users who have a touch-screen monitor. 
  • If you select "Image", you can upload an image file of your choice from your computer to serve as your signature. This can then be used with a photograph of your physical signature. 
    
    

  Clicking "Apply" will add the signature to your document to the location of your choosing.

• If you see no blue box, that means it's a flat form. You can manually fill or add text by adding your own text field. 
  
  

  • Click Add Text  in the toolbar. Click at the place in the document where you want to add the text, and then start typing.

  
  

  • Use the field toolbar to make appropriate changes:
    • To resize a field, use the font up or down button in the toolbar - the first two buttons from left.
    • To move a field, move your pointer closer to field border until you see the drag handle, and then hold and move the field as required.
    • To delete a field or typed text, click the trash button.
    • To convert a normal text field into the comb field or vice versa, click the comb button - the second button from the right.
    • To use annotations or symbols, click the Options menu  and select the annotation.
      
      
  • Use Comb fields to fill or add text in continuous boxes in a line/row. The Comb field spreads the user-entered text evenly across the width of the text field, as shown below. While you are typing, if the characters do not fit in each box, adjust the spacing with the grab handle where the resize here points in the image above.
  • Use Crossmark, Checkmark, and Dot to fill in check boxes and radio buttons. Use the Circle to circle text or the Line to strike out text. Click an annotation in the toolbar to select it, and then click on the form where you want to place the annotation. (Each click places the selected annotation at the respective location on the form.)
