Tips and questions
Is a typed signature legal?
In many countries, an e-signature is fine for everyday deals. The rules differ by country. For big contracts, ask what the other side accepts.
How do I add it to a PDF?
Download the PNG. Open the PDF Editor and pick Edit content. Open your PDF and use the Image tool to place it.
Why a see-through background?
It has no white box around it. So it looks natural on a signature line.
