Sign a PDF on a Chromebook right in Chrome
Chromebooks are everywhere — at school, at work, in libraries — and they often don't let you install anything. You don't need to: open the PDF here in Chrome, sign it with your touchpad, touchscreen or keyboard, and download the signed file.

Chromebook tips
Type instead of draw
Touchpad signatures can be wobbly — typing your name in a handwriting font looks neat.
Files from Drive
Download the PDF from Google Drive first, then open it here.
Shared devices
On a school or library Chromebook, delete the file from Downloads when you're done.
Signing on a Chromebook
Takes about a minute.
- 1
Open the PDF
Choose it from Downloads or Google Drive in the tool above.
- 2
Sign
Draw with the touchpad or touchscreen, or type your name.
- 3
Download
The signed PDF is saved to your Downloads folder.
Why use a website instead of an app?
Managed Chromebooks — at schools, companies and libraries — usually block new apps and extensions. ChromeOS has some built-in PDF tools, but a website like this works on any Chromebook and guides you through signing, dating and placing everything.
Privacy on a shared Chromebook
The document is processed in the browser and isn't uploaded to us. On a shared device, remember that Chrome may keep your download in the Downloads folder — delete it and sign out when you're finished.
Sending it back
Attach the signed PDF in Gmail or your email, or upload it to the portal that asked for it.
