Problem with PDF

Forums: Pdf
Email this Topic • Print this Page

I have a document by email which requires a witness to sign. The contract is by PDF. There is a place at the end for a witness to sign. But I cannot find a way to sign it and I cannot print it. If I download it it goes to Adobe or another source I downloaded. Neither allows me to print it out or alter by signing it. I don't want to subscribe to Adobe for about 70 dollars. Do any of you have a solution to the problem?

@edgarblythe,

is there a specific reason why they didn't mail you the document on a piece of paper?

@edgarblythe,

Do you have Adobe software installed? If so open the file and check the toolbar on the right of the screen. There should be options there for "add signature from file: and "add signature" You can separately create a handwritten signatire in a Word Document and simply paste it on the PDF file with the first option.

I hope this helps.

@georgeob1,

My computer came with Adobe, but they want too much money to activate the service. $69.99.

@Region Philbis,

A publishing company sent me a contract using PDF. I was hoping I would not need to present them with a problem by contacting them about it.

Do you mean the document itself is secured so it won't print, or is there some other reason? Have you got the (free) Adobe Reader installed?

@edgarblythe,

Even with Adobe it can be a pain - they change most of the details everey time the upgrade the sdoftware. Can you simply print the contract and usr the mail - it might be less frustratying?

Good luck

I tried every trick I could find to print it. No luck. What worked cost me $6 for a month service. It is the link CI gave me. After spending more than half a day wrestling with it, his link got it signed and sent within a half hour.

I used up all the free in Adobe at least three years ago.

CI, your link solved my problem. But it cost me $6.

@edgarblythe,

hold down the Ctrl key and click the Print Screen key.

that takes a screen shot of whatever is on your screen -- it puts it on your clipboard.

next open Windows Paint, paste image, and crop as necessary...

Adobe Reader is always free, for everyone. I don't understand what you mean.

I mean when I bought this stinking EMachine, it had a free trial of Adobe. After I used that up, it refused to allow me to use it unless I cough up about $70 per year.
Also, it came with Works, but I was informed I would be subjected to endless advertisements if I activated it. Since I already had Works on a disc I deleted their version and installed mine.

Adobe what? Adobe is a software house. It has numerous products. Adobe Reader is one. It is free to everyone, regardless of what your PC maker says.
