What does this PDF tool do?
A drawn or imported mark is a visual signature. A cryptographic signature requires a P12 or PFX certificate, or a locally generated self-signed certificate. Its evidential value depends on the certificate and your use case.
Document processing happens in your browser. SunPDF does not upload your PDF to a server for editing. Closing or refreshing the tab ends the current session.
When to use this tool
A visual signature suits cases where the recipient accepts a drawn or imported mark. A formal process may require certificate-based signing.
How to check the result
Check the page, size, and position, then confirm with the recipient that the chosen signing method meets their requirements.
