How to Create Digital Signed Signature?

Rick Gallant · 2025-04-08T13:57:53+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to create a digitally signed signature (instead of using conventional digital signature offered)? I'd like to create a permanent image of my own signature on paper, store it and certify it if possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I think I get what you're trying to do. Basically, you just need to create the signature, store it as an image, and then go to "Trusted Identities…" to manage the appearance of your signature(s). You'll either choose the existing signature you want to change or click the green + to create a signature.

If you want to keep the existing appearance options, just click the green button in the Appearances window. Make sure the one you want to edit is selected, and click the gear icon.

In this new "Signature Appearance" window, under 'Graphic' select 'File' and then navigate your way to the signature image you want to use. Then you can add the automatic text, alignment, and label/logo options to your liking. When you're done, click 'OK'. You're all done. Keep clicking 'OK' to confirm your new settings and then when you next go to sign, just activate the signature digital ID you want and make sure to select your preferred appearance before clicking 'OK'.

I hope this helped and uhh… I don't use this signature for anything. I simply made this one for demonstrating the steps for ya. Best of luck!

Making a signature stamp is easy, but making it an official (digitally legal) signature is not. As I understand it, digital signatures are looking for unique number codes to make them trackable. They don't care about an image as that can be copied from anywhere. And since the image has no value in those cases, I don't think anyone has bothered doing this.

Of course, I'm probably wrong, so I will happily wait for someone to correct me.

EDIT: See, I was corrected as I was typing.

Yeah. I thought I should make that clear. It's pretty much my name, but nothing like my actual signature lol
