Instructions for Verified Digital Signatures

If you need Adobe Reader, you can download it free.

1. Open a pdf to be signed
2. Select Tools in the top bar (this is important - find Tools on the bar - don't go to fill and sign)
3. Select Certificates (there is a certificates button). You may need to click Add.
4. Below the main tool bar is now another bar--choose "Digitally Sign"
5. If you don't already have a signature saved, it will prompt you through the process of creating and saving the signature, under a password.
6. If you do have a signature saved, once you click "Digitally Sign," it will prompt you to draw the signature box where it belongs or fill in an existing signature box on a form. Add your saved signature.
7. Then, save the document, now signed. Be sure not to Lock the document as this will prevent other individuals from adding their signatures.
8. Once you have saved the document, you can send it via email to another person.

If the form requires multiple signatures, each person can follow these steps, emailing it on to the next individual who needs to digitally sign.
