How to digitally sign PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Reader?

There are several ways to sign a PDF digitally electronically. It depends on how often and how many documents you want to digitally sign. If the volume of documents is in units of pieces, at most tens per month (eg contracts or invoices), the easiest and cheapest way is to sign PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, which is completely free (Windows and Mac). If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can download it at this link. In this volume of signed documents, it is not worth investing in paid programs (which, in addition, usually have annual license fees). However, the advantage of paid programs can be saving time if you sign packages of tens or hundreds of documents every month - this way you can sign everything at once with using drag and drop. But we will show you how to sign PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
