• Wet signatures are now eSignatures
• And we'll teach you how to sign PDFs...
• Using your electronic/wet signature

Let's make it happen.

How to Do a Wet Signature on PDF

There are different methods to add a wet signature to a PDF:

1. Use an eSignature tool — most efficient method.
2. Scan & Upload your signature — time and paper consuming.
3. Print & Scan the document — the classic, lengthy way.

Method 1: eSignature Tool

An online signature generator is definitely the quickest way to wet-sign a PDF:

1. Upload your PDF document;
2. Select the signature box (left side);
3. Create your digital signature just like the wet one;
4. Drag & Drop your signature on the file;
5. Apply changes and download.

Simply upload your PDF document in the box above, and then you'll be forwarded to our document editor.

Crate your electronic signature: upload a picture of your wet signature, draw it, or use text with handwritten-alike font.

Method 2: Scan & Upload

Scanning your signature is also a quick way to wet-sign PDFs:

1. Write your signature on paper;
2. Take a picture of it;
3. Upload your PDF to SignHouse's editor (the box below);
4. Click the signature box (left side);
5. Import the picture of your signature;
6. Drag & Drop it on the PDF document;
7. Download the PDF with your wet signature on it.

However, this isn't the best approach:

• Signature images are way slower than just creating eSignatures.
• Accidentally, you can take pictures in the wrong lighting.
• That extends the process just to re-take the picture...
• And lose lots of time.

Let's move on to the third and the last method.

Method 3: Print & Scan the PDF

1. Connect a printer to your computer;
2. Print your PDF document;
3. Grab a pen → Physically sign the paper(s);
4. Take pictures → Scan the document;
5. Save the new PDF with your wet ink signature.

This method is also time and paper consuming.

The Conclusion

We've reached the point where creating a digital signature is just way quicker than signing with the classic pen and paper.

The world's going digital, and so do our signatures.
