PURPOSE Electronic signatures allow documents to be signed without printing. STEPS Open the PDF in an approved signing tool, add your signature or initials, complete required fields, and save or submit the signed copy. CHECK Verify the correct document, signer name, date, and signature location before sending. DO NOT Do not paste an image of a signature into documents unless that method is approved for the situation. IMPORTANT Some documents require specific legal or workflow-based signature tools. Use the approved process when required.
