Creating an e-signature in Acrobat

Change the e-signature you saved in the Adobe Fill & Sign tool.

Electronic signatures authenticate you as the authorized signatory in online transactions and help build customer trust. Depending upon your business scenario, you may want to change an e-signature to a PDF form for various reasons. It includes typos, changes in name or title, expired signature certificates, invalid signatures, or signatures not accepted by the recipient.

Change your e-signature in new Acrobat

Perform the following steps to change your saved e-signature in the new Acrobat:

Select the X sign. Select Add Signature. Add replacement signature.

1. Open the PDF document or form in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, and select Fill & Sign  from the quick tools panel.

2. From the signature dialog, select the cross (X) sign beside the previously added signature.

    

   

    

3. To add a replacement signature to the document, select Add Signature.

    

   

    

   Note: 

   You can only add one e-signature or initials at a time in a PDF document. You could circumvent that limit by creating a stamp with the signature and using it.

4. Type, draw, or select a new signature image to replace the existing one. Then select Apply.

    

   

    

5. To adjust the placement of your signature, hover over it until you see a plus icon. Then, select it and reposition it as desired.

6. To adjust the size of your signature, hover over the blue circle at the corner and then hold and drag it as desired.
