What Click to Sign PDF does
Shows the actual page so you can click to place a signature or initials, drag to reposition, and resize by dragging the corner. Click to Sign PDF shows the actual PDF page on screen so you can click exactly where a signature or initials should go, instead of picking from a preset position like top-left or bottom-right. Draw your signature or type your name, click anywhere on the rendered page to place it, drag it into position, and resize it by its corner — smaller for initials, larger for a full signature. Place as many signatures or initials as needed across every page before downloading, replacing the print-sign-scan-send routine with a few clicks.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the regular Sign PDF tool?
The regular Sign PDF tool uses a preset position like “top-left” or “bottom-right.” This tool shows the actual page so you click exactly where you want the signature, then drag and resize it freely.
Can I use this to add initials instead of a full signature?
Yes — draw or type once, then resize the placed copy smaller wherever you need initials instead of a full signature.
Can I sign multiple pages or add several signatures?
Yes — click anywhere on any page to add another signature or initials; place as many as the document needs before downloading.
Can I move a signature after placing it?
Yes — drag it anywhere on the page. Drag its corner handle to resize it, or click the small × to remove it.
Is this a legally binding electronic signature?
This places a visible signature image on the page rather than a certified digital signature with cryptographic verification — suitable for everyday approvals, though check your specific legal requirements for contracts needing certified e-signatures.
Is there a free way to esign PDF online?
Yes — add signature to PDF free, with no account, watermark, or cost. It works as a full electronic signature PDF placement tool directly in your browser.
Can I click to sign a document without typing coordinates or picking a preset spot?
Yes — that's the whole point of this tool. Click to sign document directly on the rendered page instead of choosing a position from a list.
Is Click to Sign PDF free?
Yes, and there is no sign-up, watermark or daily limit — everything runs in your browser rather than on a metered server.
