When this check box is selected, and you're signed in to Acrobat Reader DC or Acrobat DC, the

Click Apply, and then click at the place in the PDF where you want to place the signature or initial.
6. To move the placed signature or initial, click the field to highlight it and then use the arrow keys. To resize or delete
the field, use the options in field toolbar.
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.
