When you create a signature in Adobe Acrobat, you are creating a file on your computer to use with PDF documents
when needed. This allows you to electronically sign a document. No one will be able to sign your name on your
computer without the signature password.

To create a signature for the first time, go to Document > Security Settings. Click the text Digital
IDs on the left of the window. To create your first ID or even a second ID, click the Add ID button.

Click the radio button next to “A new digital ID I want


to create now” and click the Next button.

name.

After completing the form, leave Unicode Support unchecked


and click the Next button.

Allow the file to save to the default location.

Create a password for the signature. Be sure to create a


password you will remember. If you cannot remember the
password, you will not be able to use the signature. The
password is not recoverable if you forget.
Apply a Signature in Acrobat 9
