How to Save a Signature for Reuse in PDFs
To save a signature for reuse in PDFs, open Signatures in Gold PDF, draw it on the pad or import an image, and press Save signature. It stays in your library, and one click places it on any document.
Quick steps
- Click Signatures.
- Draw on the pad (or Import image).
- Press Save signature.
- In any PDF, open Signatures and click the one you want, then click the page.
Managing the library
Each saved signature appears as a card. Click the × to delete. You can keep a formal signature, initials and a company stamp.
Privacy
Signatures are stored locally in the app and never uploaded. If you share the computer, delete signatures you do not want others to use.
Good habits
- Keep a transparent PNG of your signature for the cleanest look.
- Keep initials as a separate entry.
- Combine with form filling: how to fill out a PDF form for free.
