Acrobat Support

In Acrobat, you can place an image of your signature on a PDF file, but this lacks an element of security. As a better option, I would recommend making a Digital ID file, which can be used to digitally sign your PDF. In this case, an electronic code represents your signature. To make a Digital ID and sign your PDF:

1. Open Acrobat and go to Advanced > Security Settings
2. On the Security Settings menu click on Digital IDs on the left
   
3. Click the Add ID button
4. Choose Create a Self Signed ID and click Next
5. Pick New PKCS#12 digital ID file and click Next
6. Enter all your information and click Next
7. Type in a password in both boxes and click Next.
8. Close the Security Settings menu.
9. Now you have a Digital ID file that you can use to sign a PDF.
10. To sign your document, open a PDF and go to Advanced > Sign and Certify > Place Signature > and click OK to the popup
11. Next, drag a box with your mouse where you would like the signature.
12. When the Sign Document window appears, you’ll see that your Digital ID is selected.
13. Type in your password, click sign, and then save your PDF file.
14. Now your document has been digitally signed.
