我们所有人都将计算机用于各种应用程序，例如游戏、创建文档、观看电影等。在创建文档时，每种类型的文档都有各种可用的程序。对于 word 文档，我们有Microsoft Word。对于演示文稿，我们提供Microsoft PowerPoint服务。对于工作表，我们可以使用Microsoft Excel。但是，这些程序仅在创建部分为我们提供帮助，并且它们都不允许对文档进行电子签名。
但是，很多时候，当您需要签署文件并将其发送回个人或其他任何人时，就会出现这种情况，这也是数字化的。当文件是一份工作或其他任何事情的录取通知书时，就会有一种紧迫感。那么，在这种情况下你会怎么做呢？许多人(Many)会遵循下面提到的步骤，因为这些似乎是一种简单的方法。

All of us use computers for various applications like gaming, creating documents, watching movies, etc. When it comes to creating a document, there are various programs available for each type of document. For the word documents, we have the Microsoft Word. For presentations, we have the service of the Microsoft PowerPoint. For sheets, we have the Microsoft Excel at our service. But, these programs help us only with the creation part and none of them allows electronically signing documents.
However, many times, there arises a situation when you need to sign documents and send them back to the individual or to anyone else, that too digitally. There is a sense of urgency when the document is an offer letter for a job or anything else. So, what will you do in such a situation? Many would follow the below-mentioned steps as these appear one of the easy ways to do so.
- Take the print out of the document.
- Sign the document.
- Scan the document.
- Send the signed scanned document to the concerned individual.
The above process is simple if you own a printer and a scanner at home. But this simple process complicates if you don’t own any of these. The process becomes time-consuming as you’ll first need to find a printer and a scanner.
So, what are you going to do in that case? If you are also facing the same problem, keep reading this article as in this article, an easier way is suggested using which you can easily sign any digital document and that too, without scanning and printing it.
If you do not want to perform the above time-consuming steps to sign a digital document or you do not have a scanner or printer, there is always an easier way to do it and the way is to sign the digital document electronically. So, let’s understand what an electronic signature is.
Electronic signatures
An electronic signature is a picture of what your signature looks like. You can scan it from anywhere, even a blank piece of paper with nothing but your signature on it is termed as an electronic signature. If anyone asks for your signature on a PDF document, they mean an electronic one. Keep in mind that electronic signatures are different from digital signatures. A digital signature proves that you have seen the document and approved of it by signing it digitally. A digital signature is the most secure one. One of the best things with electronic signatures is that they can be performed on every platform like Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.

The only disadvantage of this application is that it takes up a lot of space. There are other third-party lightweight applications that support electronically signed PDF documents but they generally provoke you to purchase their paid version before letting you sign your first document using their electronic signature feature.
To use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to electronically sign a PDF document, follow the below steps.
1. First of all, open the Adobe Acrobat Reader by searching for it in the search bar.
Note: If your PC or desktop does not have the application, first of all, download it and then install it.

If you find that you need to do it again, simply draw a fresh new signature by clicking on the Clear button.
c. Image
If you are not able to sign using the mouse pointer or touchscreen, use the Image option in which you have to sign on a paper using a pen, scan that paper, and use it as an image on the PDF document via the Adobe Acrobat. Although there is a need to scan, you need to scan only once and then can keep that scanned image in your computer or laptop and use it wherever you will need to electronically sign any document.
To use Image to electronically sign the document, simply click on the Image option and navigate to the image having your signature. The image will open up and will appear in the blank space provided.
1. Now, after creating a sign using any of the above three ways, click on the Apply button to apply the signature you have just created to your document. Leave the Save signature checkbox checked to save this signature for future use.
2. Position the signature wherever you want by dragging the signature to the required position.
3. When the positioning is done, click on it and it will be saved.
4. If you have saved the signature, you can easily find that signature again in the Sign menu.
