If you want to use an image as your signature:
•Sign your name in black ink on a clean, blank sheet of white paper. Sign in the middle of the paper so you don't
photograph or scan the edges.
• Photograph or scan your signature. If you are taking a picture of your signature, make sure that the page is lit and
that no shadows fall across the signature.
• Transfer the photo or scan to your computer. Acrobat DC accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, TIF, and BMP files.
You do not need to crop the image. Acrobat imports just the signature if the photo or scan is fairly clean.

Get PDFs signed by others using Adobe Document Cloud eSign services
You can get documents signed by others using Send for Signature, an Adobe Document Cloud eSign service. The
service lets recipients quickly sign documents from anywhere using a web browser or mobile device.
The service keeps track of the entire process. It emails your signers that you'd like them to sign a document. Once
signed, both you and your signers receive the signed PDF in email. The signed documents are stored securely in Adobe
Document Cloud.
