How do I sign a PDF with a digital signature using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?


You need to have a digital ID to complete these steps. If you don't have one, you can Create a self-signed digital ID.

Self-signed digital IDs can be adequate for personal use or small-to-medium businesses. Their use should be limited to parties that have established mutual trust.

  1. Open an existing PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

  2. Click Tools > Certificates.

  3. Click Digitally Sign.

  4. Using the target cursor, drag and place the appropriate sized rectangle where you would like the digital signature placed.

  5. Click Sign.

  6. Re-save the document.
