How does the Add Signature Field work?
Add labeled signature-line fields to an existing PDF — bordered boxes with a horizontal signature rule and a label underneath. Each box is a real AcroForm text field (so it can be filled with typed text), but it is styled to indicate where image-based signatures (drawn or pasted via Sign PDF / Quick Sign Mobile) should be placed. Honest about scope: this is for IMAGE-based signatures, not PKI / cryptographic digital signatures — those need Adobe Acrobat or a regulated workflow like DocuSign.
