What the Sign PDF tool does

Placements, housing contracts, funding agreements and declarations often need a signature. Printing, signing and scanning wastes time and gives you a poor-quality file.

Draw your signature, choose the page, position and size, and save. The tool puts a picture of your signature onto the page.

How to use it in four steps

  1. Open the Sign tool and choose your PDF.
  2. Draw your signature in the box, using a mouse or your finger.
  3. Choose which page it goes on, its position and its width.
  4. Press Place signature and download the signed copy.

How students use it

  • Sign a placement or work-experience agreement.
  • Sign a declaration of originality on a submission cover sheet.
  • Return a housing or funding form.
  • Sign a consent form for your research project.

Good to know

  • This places an image of your handwritten signature. It is not a cryptographic digital signature. Most university and landlord forms accept it, but check if yours needs a certified e-signature.
  • Only sign documents you have read and understood.
