Add signature text to PDFs
Typed name, title, and date blocks formalise acceptance on quotes, SOWs, and internal approvals when wet ink is not required.

RatPDF adds visible signature text — suitable for many business workflows. Regulated qualified electronic signatures may need specialised providers. For jurisdiction-specific rules, read sign PDF legally.
