The print-sign-scan loop is one of the most pointless steps left in modern paperwork. For most everyday documents a typed or drawn electronic signature is enough.
1. Know what kind of signature you need
- Simple e-signature — fine for most business agreements and contracts.
- Advanced/qualified signature — needed for some government filings and regulated industries.
2. Add your signature
- Open ClarixPDF's e-sign tool at clarixpdf.com/sign.
- Upload the document.
- Create your signature — type it, draw it, or upload a photo of your handwritten signature.
- Drag it to the correct position and download the signed PDF.
3. Save your signature for next time
Most tools let you save a signature so you don't have to recreate it every time.
4. Sending for someone else to sign
Send the file via email with clear instructions on where to sign, and keep the final signed copy in a clearly labeled folder.
