Sign A PDF Without Printing

One of these little tasks we all need to do every once in a while is signing documents. As usual, many traditional institutions don't (yet) support digital fingerprint signing, so they require a "real" handwritten signature. Filling in the form can be done online, everybody has the Acrobat plugin to make that happen, but attaching a signature?

There are a few quick and free ways to accomplish this, without printing out your document, signing it with a pen, and rescanning it. Of course you just attach an image of sufficient quality. One PDF-reader that does this is NitroPDF. It is free to try, and you can actually sign your documents with the free version by inserting a scanned (or photographed) image of your signature. The pro version offers batch processing, word integration and full control.

If you prefer just working in the cloud (because your computer is too slow for the heavy NitroPDF or you are in a cyber) and you prefer signing PDFs online, that this website is for you.

There are also plenty of free fax utilities, so that you don't need to touch a printer or fax machine to send it to whatever prehistoric institution it is that demands your paperwork...
