Sign PDF: approval handoffs and final handoff

Place a signature on the required PDF page, check its size and position, and download a signed copy ready for review or delivery. A practical use case is to place a signature on an agreement, form, or approval document before delivery.

Before processing, confirm the selected page, signature scale, and position so it does not cover key details. After downloading, reopen the downloaded copy and verify that the signature appears in the intended location.

How processing works

  1. Upload the source PDF and wait for every page to appear.

  2. Select the pages and configure the available options.

  3. Run the operation and wait for the output file.

  4. Download the result; reopen the downloaded copy and verify that the signature appears in the intended location.
