signature (Full Name) and the corresponding initials. Or you can click Manage
Signatures in the Foxit eSign tab and click Add in the pop-up Manage
Signatures dialog box to create signatures. (Note: On the signature palette, it shows
the default signature and its initials. The sign is displayed when there aren’t any
signatures created yet or when there aren’t any initials created for the corresponding
signature.)
5. In the Create Signatures dialog box:
• Draw a signature, import a file, copy a snapshot from the clipboard, or
type text content to create signatures. (Tip: You can sign your signature on
a clean white sheet of paper using a black pen, and scan it to an image file. To
create the best signature, it is suggested to scan your signature in monochrome
at 600 DPI.)
• Click Online > Download Signature/Download Initials to open the
Online Signature dialog box, which shows the signatures you have
previously saved online. Then select and download the desired signatures
as the signature/initials. You can also delete signatures in the dialog box
by clicking Delete.
6. Click the Options button to select the options as needed:
• Convert signature to black & white: the signature will be created in black
and white even if the original image is chromatic.
• Keep original size: selects the option and the signature will be created
with the original size. If the signature width/height is greater than the page
size, Foxit PDF Editor will zoom it out to a signature with a width of 100
pixels while maintaining the original proportion. The option is only
available when the signature is from an imported file or Clipboard. With
the option unselected, the signature will be resized and created with a
width of 100 pixels while maintaining the original proportion by default.
• Discard the signature when program closes: the signature will be
discarded the next time you launch Foxit PDF Editor.
• Save online: save the newly created signature to Foxit Web Services,
which allows you to sign documents.
• Require password to use this signature: Specify a password that will be
required when users sign the document with the signature. Enter the
password again to confirm it.
7. Click OK. The cursor will be changed into a shape with the appearance preview of
the signature.
8. Place the cursor to the position you want to sign and click. Or drag a rectangle to
define the size and placement. The signature stays selected until you choose
another tool. You can place multiple signatures on pages continuously without
the need to reselect the same signature.
