PDF Ready

Sign then prepare

Sign and compress a PDF for upload on Android

When a workflow needs a visible handwritten signature and a strict file size, add the signature first in Originals, then prepare the signed-looking document for the upload target.

Correct order of work

  • Import or create the PDF.
  • Add the visible handwritten signature where needed.
  • Prepare the edited document for the exact upload size.
  • Review the generated result before clean export.

Signature boundary

  • The signature is a visible handwritten mark.
  • It is not a certified e-signature or legal signing platform.
  • Use it only when the destination accepts a visible mark inside the PDF.

Compression after signing

  • Adding the visible mark can change the output size.
  • Choose the size target after the mark is placed.
  • If the result is too blurry, use a larger allowed target or improve the source.

Payment boundary

  • You can place and review before final export.
  • The paid step is the clean export ready to save, share, or submit.
  • Payment is tied to the final reviewed copy, not to drawing the visible mark.
