Sign a PDF Without Adobe

You do not need Adobe Acrobat — or its subscription — to sign a PDF. Haven PDF lets you draw your signature with a mouse or finger, type it in a script font, or upload a photo of your ink signature, then place it exactly where the document needs it.

Unlike “free” e-sign services that make you create an account and upload the contract to their cloud, everything here happens in your browser. The signed document never leaves your device — you download it directly, ready to send back.

How to

Open the Sign tool. Free, in your browser — no Adobe, no account.
Load the PDF. The document stays on your device throughout.
Create your signature. Draw, type or upload it — then place and resize it on the page.
Download the signed PDF. Send it back by email or upload it wherever it is needed.

Three ways to make your signature

Draw it (works great on a phone or tablet with your finger), type your name and pick a signature style, or upload a photo/scan of your handwritten signature with the background removed. Resize and drop it onto the signature line — on any page, as many times as the document needs.

Is a drawn signature legally valid?

In most jurisdictions (eSIGN Act in the US, eIDAS in the EU), a simple electronic signature — an image of your signature placed with intent to sign — is legally binding for everyday contracts, NDAs, leases and forms. Documents requiring notarization or qualified digital certificates are the exception, not the rule.

Why in-browser signing is safer

A contract is exactly the document you do not want sitting on a third-party server. Haven PDF performs the entire signing process locally: the PDF is opened, signed and saved on your own device. No cloud copy, no account, no trace.
