Sign your name on a clean, white piece of paper with a black pen. Scan or take a photo of it with your mobile device and email it to yourself (you can also use the webcam on your laptop), and once you've received the file, save it to a location on your computer (do not save to a server, or any removable media such as a USB flash drive. The file will need to reside on your machine). Step Two: Creating Your Digital Signature You may want to crop the image file in Preview (Mac), or Microsoft Paint (Windows). In Adobe Acrobat Pro, select Preferences from the Acrobat menu (Mac) or Edit menu (Windows). Next, select Signatures in the Categories list on the right.
