Electronic Signature vs Digital Signature

This tool helps you add a visible electronic signature to a PDF. A certificate-based digital signature is different because it can include cryptographic validation and identity verification. Legal acceptance depends on the document type, country, organization, and signing requirements. For legal, government, financial, or regulated documents, check the required signing method.
