Create your personal signature for use whenever you need to sign a document.
Adobe Acrobat Sign offers multiple ways to customize how your signature appears when applied to a document:
- Default Text Font – No setup is required if you prefer the standard Acrobat Sign signature font.
- Draw Your Signature – Use a mouse or stylus to create a handwritten signature.
- Upload an Image – Import a signature file in .bmp, .png, .gif, or .jpg format.
These options allow you to personalize your signature for a more professional and recognizable appearance.
