I have to fill in some forms and email it but the forms are a xerox of a file, saved as a PDF. So, most PDF reader and fillers are unable to recognize I’m trying to type on the document. I also need to provide a signature on the document but it’s doesn’t have to be a certified signature( I ran into this with adobe). Anyone know of any good software to use?
I had some luck with master pdf editor 5 but it gave the file a watermark that I had remove with libre office, and I still couldn’t sign it.
Xournal++ is my recommendation. It can annotate any pdf pretty easily. Just import the pdf, sign it, then export as pdf
Thanks!
I believe Firefox can do everything you ask. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/pdf-editor/
You can use libreoffice draw for basic edits. Why not try out KDE Okular for PDF signing?
I tried out Okular but it required an online certificate for signatures
yeah there’s stuff built into the PDF format for doing signatures like, securely, but if you just need to draw on the PDF, not provide a verifiable electronic signature, then that should be easier. I’ve also mostly used Xournal++ for this sort of thing, you can draw or type over the pdf just fine.
Oof. I tried doing this in Inkscape once and it was miserable.
