Title: [SOLVED] Signing PDF Document
Post by: john9159 on February 23, 2015, 04:56:47 AM
I'm trying to impose a second signature from file onto a pdf document.
The first worked fine as Adobe allow this but the second required sending to a recipient for them to sign. No matter how we try, the second signature cannot be added.
I am now using GIMP Image Editor to do this and whilst it does work, the image cannot be scaled down to fit in the appropriate area, it always appears oversize and overlaps other areas of the form.
Has anyone any idea how to reduce the size of the image?
Thanks for your help.

This topic should probably have been posted in Off Topic, as it does not really appear to have anything to do with installing software or Linux Lite. That being said, I would suggest looking at the Gimp tutorials for help on the issue.

@ john9159,

I agree with avj,
I think this is an Acrobat issue...
Sounds similar to this..??

Thanks for your assistance although I have found a free online service called PDFescape which I found to do the job adequately.

Yes, PDFescape is a good one, yet it's not free so far. I used this tool for such a purpose: https://edit-pdf.pdffiller.com (https://edit-pdf.pdffiller.com/) for $6 a month. But for now I've found out MasterPDF as way better optimized for Lite OS, regardless of it's more expensive
