Instructions and Help about Switch from Adobe Acrobat to pdfFiller for a Make Signable PDFs Online Solution For Free

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to sign a PDF document, like that registration or application form, but you could not do it because you did not have the right software?

In the past, you probably had to print the form, fill and sign it, and either scan it or send a hard copy to wherever it needed to go. Besides needing a printer and a scanner, the whole process was just too time-consuming.

Now, with pdfFiller you can make any PDF document singable online without downloading or installing any software.

To get started, upload a PDF to your account and open it in the editor. Any PDF document is instantly singable in pdfFiller. Click the Sign button in the main toolbar.

Image

This will open the Signature Wizard that allows you to type, draw, upload, capture a signature with a webcam, or sign the document on a mobile device.

Image

To type a signature, click the T icon and type your name. Click Save and Used to use the signature immediately or Save to use it later. In both cases, the signature will be saved in the Signature Wizard.

Image

Click where you need to place the electronic signature. Use the mini toolbar to resize the signature or change its position.

Image

To draw a signature, click the fountain pen icon and use your mouse or trackpad to draw your signature by clicking and dragging. You can also change the color and thickness of the signature.

Image

Place and save the signature exactly where you want it to appear.

Image

To sign with your finger, click on mobile device and enter your phone number or email address. Open the link you receive via text message or email on your phone, and follow the instructions to sign with your finger. To capture a signature, click the webcam icon and allow pdfFiller access to your camera. Then simply sign a piece of paper and hold it up to the camera, so the signature fits inside the blue box. You can then choose to make adjustments to the scan, or use the signature as-is.

Image

To upload a signature, click the arrow icon and navigate to an image of your signature on your computer. Just like with capture, you can then choose to use the signature as-is, oar make changes. Available edits include crop, lightness, contrast, flip, rotate, and auto-adjust. pdfFiller can verify your signature with a stamp showing the date when you signed the document. To show the stamp, just click its icon. You can create as many signatures as you like and save them in the wizard. Your signatures will automatically appear in the Signature Wizard, ready to be used any time you need to sign a document. You can also remove any signature with the trash can icon.

I enjoyed using PdfFiller as It's… I enjoyed using PdfFiller as It's usually difficult to edit PDFs. But with this site I could do it well. Will definitely keep on using it.

Easy to use and share documentation. Been an absolute godsend for filling in forms and applications. Probably won't use a lot as the requirements are limited.
