How to Create a Digital Signature Field in Word for PDF

1. Create a document in Microsoft Word 2007. If you already have a document created, open it by clicking 'Office button > Open.' Locate the document, select it and click 'Open.'
2. Place your pointer in the position on the document where you want the digital signature field. You can double-click anywhere in the document to place the cursor for inputting the field.
3. Click 'Insert' and then 'Signature Line,' which is under the 'Text' group heading. A dialog box appears asking for the type of information the signer will have to leave to complete the digital signature, such as their email address and title. Add the wording for these additional fields if you want to add them. If not, just leave everything blank and click 'OK.' The digital signature field will be placed in the document.
4. Convert the Word document into a PDF. Click 'Office button > Save As.' Choose 'PDF' as the file type. Give the document a name by typing in the 'File name' box and click 'Save.' The file is now saved as a PDF document with a digital signature field.
