Fill & Sign

Somebody emails you a form. You print it, fill it in with a pen, sign it, photograph it, and send back a crooked JPEG. PDFora's fill and sign PDF tool replaces that whole ritual: type your answers directly onto the document, add your signature, and download a clean, finished PDF. It is free, works in your browser, and asks for no signup.

Signatures work two ways. Draw yours with a mouse or your finger — on a phone it feels close to signing on paper — or type your name and pick a script font that renders it as a signature. Either way, you drag it exactly where it belongs and resize it to fit the signature line. You can sign a PDF online in under a minute.

Privacy is the real reason to e-sign PDFs here. Documents you sign tend to be the sensitive ones — employment contracts, medical intake forms, tax paperwork. PDFora processes everything browser-local, so a signed contract never leaves your device or touches a server. No uploads, no watermarks, no limits on how many documents you fill and sign.

How to fill and sign a PDF online

1. Open the Fill & Sign tool on getpdfora.com and choose your PDF. The file loads in your browser without being uploaded anywhere.
2. Click any blank field or line on the form and type your answer — name, date, address, checkbox marks, anything.
3. Adjust the text size so your entries sit neatly on the form's lines.
4. Click to add a signature: draw it with your mouse or finger, or type your name and choose a script style.
5. Drag the signature onto the signature line and resize it until it looks right.
6. Download the finished PDF and send it off. The filled text and signature are baked into the file.

When to use this tool

• Sign a job offer or freelance contract the moment it lands in your inbox, instead of hunting for a printer.
• Complete a new-patient medical form at home so you are not scribbling on a clipboard in the waiting room.
• Fill in a rental application and sign it from your phone while you are still standing in the apartment.
• Add your signature to a school consent form and email it back to the teacher the same evening.
• Countersign an NDA a client sent over, without routing a confidential document through a third-party server.
• Fill out visa or government application PDFs that were designed to be printed and completed by hand.

Tips for the best results

• Drawing your signature is easier on a touchscreen — if you are on a desktop, try signing with your phone instead.
• Sign large, then shrink. A signature drawn big and scaled down looks smoother than one drawn tiny.
• Match your typed text size to the form's own print, usually somewhere around 10 to 12 points.
• For checkboxes, a typed capital X sits cleaner inside the box than a drawn tick.
• Preview the final page before downloading to catch entries that drifted off their lines.
