How do I add initials to a PDF?

Click the Create New Initials item to add new initials or select one of available initials to place initials in the document. The Open Containing Folder item opens the folder where all available initials are stored as PDF files.

How do I digitally sign a PDF document?

Open your PDF document. Right-click in the PDF document where you want to add the Digital signature. Select Sign Document from the right-click menu. Select Digital Signature.

Why can't I fill and sign my PDF?

Make sure that the security settings allow form filling. (See File > Properties > Security.) Sometimes form creators forget to convert their PDFs to interactive forms, or they intentionally design a form you can only fill in by hand. If you can't type in the form fields, then the fields are probably not interactive.

How do you initial a form?

The first letter of your name is your initial. The first thing you say to someone is your initial greeting. Initial is something that occurs first or at the beginning. If someone asks you to initial a form, they're asking you to sign by writing your initials on it.
