About PDF eSign tool

Printing a document just to sign it and scan it back is a time-consuming workflow that DocumentFlipper eliminates. The eSign PDF tool lets you create a digital signature and place it directly on any page of a PDF, right in your browser.

You can draw a freehand signature using your mouse or a touchscreen, or type your name and choose from several handwriting-style fonts. The signature is then placed as a transparent PNG overlay on the document. You can drag it to exactly the right position and resize it to fit the signature line. All other content on the page is preserved unchanged.

The final signed PDF is a standard PDF file that can be sent by email, uploaded to a document system, or printed. Files are processed on our secure server and deleted within two hours.
