Add a typed signature to a PDF page
Type a name, choose the page number, and PaperKit places a signature image near the lower-left of that page. The current tool uses a typed signature; it does not include freehand drawing or a drag-to-position editor.
Inspect the signature placement
Use the preview to check that the signature is on the intended page and does not cover text. Page 1 means the first page in the file, even if the document has a cover. The handwriting-style appearance depends on fonts available on your device.
A visual signature is not a certificate
The result contains an image of the typed name. It does not cryptographically sign the PDF, verify identity, or provide an audit trail. Confirm that this type of mark meets the recipient’s requirements, and use a dedicated certificate-signing tool when a certified PDF is requested.
