Troubleshooting Sign PDF

Is a drawn signature legally valid?

In most jurisdictions an electronic signature is binding for ordinary agreements. Some documents — wills, certain property deeds — still require a handwritten signature or a notary.

Can the signature be moved after signing?

Flatten the PDF after signing to merge the signature into the page so it cannot be repositioned or removed.
