Here's how I do it. Kind of how like others said but without having to manually create the transparency.
Signature:
- Sign on piece of paper with pen but make it larger than what you normally would.
- Scan it high res.
- Crop in Photoshop. KEEP WHITE BACKGROUND.
- Save as JPEG.Adding it to a PDF:
- Open PDF by dragging PDF to Adobe Illustrator icon.
- Illustrator will ask you to open a specific page. Open the page where you need to sign. No need to open all pages.
- Go to File > Place ...and then select your signature image file.
- Set the blending mode for that image to "Multiply".
- Reposition and scale signature image on signature line.
- Now type in the signature date, your title, etc using a font. Looks professional.
- Now save the PDF. It shouldn't ask you if you want to overwrite it.Now when you open the PDF it'll be just as high res as the one you got but with a nice tidy signature and readable signature info.
