Electronically Signing Documents?

Not sure if this is the right subforum to post this on, if not, can a mod put it in the right subforum?

I usually sign tax documents or any document by printing it out, signing it, then have to scan it. Then email it back etc.

Does anyone have recommendation of which program to electronically sign a document? I have adobe reader and the file that i have to sign is a pdf file that i open with adobe. It allows me to print my name and put my signature. I use my mouse though to sign it and doing this, well making a signature with my mouse is obviously a lot harder than with a pen etc. I did download adobe fill and sign on my iphone but it seems very confusing to use.

Do most people sign documents with their mouse? Or most just do a signature on a piece of paper... then use their phone and take picture of it. Then use that signature and just drag it to any document that require signature.

Thanks.

 

I have done both (mouse signature and photo copy of signature) depending on what documents I have to sign. Some businesses are very specific on how they want you to do a electronic signature and will usually tell you what to do. Especially loan companies.

 

Might want to read up on what your asking here as well.
