Fast Sign

The Fast Sign tool allows you to create electronic signature stamps that can be easily applied to documents. The stamps can be created using a signature font, drawing with your mouse, or importing an existing scanned image of your signature. Once the document is saved PDF Studio will flatten all form fields within the document to prevent further editing.

Note: It's important to also understand that an "Electronic Signature" (Fast Sign) is not the same as a "Digital Signature". An electronic signature (Fast Sign) is a graphical representation of a signature on pen and paper such as an image or drawing. A digital signature (which may also have a graphical representation) contains a unique encrypted ID to verify its authenticity.
