Signature

Create, place, edit, and delete signature annotations in DraftPDF.

Signature annotations place a saved signature or initials appearance on the page.

Create

  1. Select the Signature tool from the annotation toolbar.
  2. In the Signatures panel, draw or type your signature.
  3. Optionally draw or type matching initials.
  4. Click Save Entry, then click on the page to place the signature or initials.

Edit

Placed signatures use the shared General and Metadata sections in the right-side properties panel for annotation metadata. The saved signature artwork itself is managed from the Signatures panel, where you can replace or remove saved entries.

Delete

  1. Select the annotation on the page.
  2. Click Delete at the bottom of the right-side properties panel.
  3. The annotation is removed from the current document immediately.
Tip:Saved signature entries also appear in File > Preferences under Signatures, where you can review what is stored in your account.
Warning:DraftPDF signatures are appearance-only marks. They are not cryptographic digital signatures and do not provide certificate-based signing or verification.
