To sign a PDF without using Adobe, there are several effective methods available:
- Use free online PDF signing tools such as DocHub, Smallpdf, or Signaturely. These platforms allow you to upload a PDF, create a digital signature by typing, drawing, or uploading an image of your signature, and then place the signature on the document. After that, you can download the signed PDF.
- On a PC, you can use WPS PDF Editor to open the PDF, access the "Comment" tab, choose "Signature," create your signature, and place it on the document.
- On mobile devices like iPhone or Android, apps such as WPS Office allow you to open the PDF, choose the signature option, and add your signature by typing, drawing, or handwriting it.
- Mac users can utilize the built-in Preview app's Markup feature to open PDFs and electronically sign them.
- If preferred, you can also print the PDF, sign it physically, and then scan it back to digital form (though this is less efficient).
These options provide cost-effective, easy-to-use alternatives for signing PDFs without Adobe Acrobat, suitable for personal, business, and legal uses while saving time and resources.
