Have a PDF document. Years ago I recall I would open the PDF document on the free Adobe Acrobat reader on my windows laptop. I recalled before this, I wrote my signature on a piece of paper and took a picture of it with my iphone and then uploaded it to my laptop. Then I went to the area on the PDF document where I want to put in my signature, I would click on that area and then choose that signature picture that is saved on my laptop and paste it in that area. Then later on if I wanted to do that with future PDF documents, I would do the same thing. I believe acrobat reader even saved my signature for future use so I didn't even need to upload it from my laptop anymore.



I am using a Chromebook at the moment. I know there is acrobat reader and I have used it before. Can someone tell me how do I do the same thing here? Last time I recalled I tried to do it and it was very confusing and did not get it to work. I know I have to take a picture of my signature written on a piece of paper with my iphone and send it to my Chromebook. Would do this by sending it to my email and opening the email on Chromebook. I believe acrobat reader even gives you the option to physically sign your signature with your mouse correct? I believe I didn't do that years ago with my windows laptop because using a mouse to write a signature doesn't look that good so I had a saved signature that I used.



Can someone tell me specifically how to do this? I don't want to bother having to print a PDF file and then physically sign it and then take a picture of it on my iphone and then upload it on genius scan on iPhone and then send it back to chromebook before I upload it to a site. The reason is because I don't have a printer and will have to go to a printing shop to do all this. I don't have a printer because I'm traveling at the moment so I would go to a printing shop and log to a computer and email to print the PDF file out. I recalled last time I tried to do this on Chromebook with adobe reader, I had a ton of issues with it and it didn't work.

Sorry but shouldn't you ask on the Chromebook forum? Adobe's?
I don't see what this has to do with Windows.
