Signing or adding initials to your form
-
To open the form that you want to sign, follow the steps mentioned in the previous section - Fill out your form.

Draw: Draw your signature in the field using your mouse, touch pad, or touch screen. To draw again or correct any mistake, use the Clear button.
Примітка.Type your name in the Enter Your Name field in the footer, if the field is not auto-populated with your name.
Image: Browse and select an image of your signature.
To use an image as your signature:
- Sign your name in black ink on a clean, blank sheet of white paper. Sign in the middle of the paper so you don't photograph or scan the edges.
- Photograph or scan your signature. If you are taking a picture of your signature, make sure that the page is lit and that no shadows fall across the signature.
- Transfer the photo or scan to your computer. Acrobat/Reader accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, TIF, and BMP files. You do not need to crop the image. Acrobat/Reader imports just the signature if the photo or scan is fairly clean.
