Add a signature to a PDF form
Collect the signature in the browser. Place it on the signature line of your original PDF — not in a spreadsheet cell.
How it works in Yolvan
- Signature as a form fieldRecipients draw with a finger or mouse. It’s a first-class field — not a scribble trapped in an email thread.
- Mapped to the signature lineDraw a box on the PDF where the signature belongs. Same mapping model as text and checkboxes.
- Lands on the completed fileOn submit, the signature is drawn onto the original PDF. You both can download the result.
What this is (and isn’t)
Yolvan places a drawn signature onto your mapped PDF rectangle as part of form fill. Use it when your process needs a signature on the document people already recognize.
Recipients never open a fillable PDF just to sign. They complete a normal web form (optionally multi-page, with conditionals), draw their signature, and download the completed file.
If you’re comparing form builders: Typeform-style tools often stop at storing the signature as data. Yolvan’s point is the document: the signature sits where your PDF expects it.
