Specific example: Adding your name and signature to the application form and saving it

Open the application PDF and add your name and date using the text tool. After placement, set the font size and color, and move and scale the signature drawn with the signature tool to the designated field.

Save

1. Open the application PDF and select the target page.
2. Additional information for this feature.
3. Draw and add your signature, positioning and sizing it with the selection tool.
4. Check all pages and save the edited PDF as a separate file.

If you leave the original PDF without overwriting it, you can start over from the beginning even if you make a mistake in the input content or page order.

Frequently asked questions

Can I directly rewrite existing text in a PDF?

It does not support re-editing existing texts. This method overlays new text, shapes, images, and signatures on top of the original page.

Can it be used to black out PDFs?

The original character data may remain even if it is covered with a shape. Use the dedicated secure redaction feature to permanently remove sensitive information.
