Instructions for Creating a Digital Signature
For Alpha Sigma Tau PDF forms
Step 1: Open the PDF form using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Download the free Adobe Acrobet Reader here.
Step 2: Complete the entire form in Acrobat.
Step 3: Sign with an electronic signature by clicking the “Signature” field. This will bring up the “Sign Document” window. If you already have an electronic signature you’ve used on this computer, you will be able to select that, enter your password, and click “Sign.”
If you do not already have an electronic signature:
- Click “Add a New Digital ID,” select “A New Digital ID I Want to Create Now,” and click “Next.”
- On the next screen, select “New PKCS#12 digital ID file” and click “Next.”
- On the next screen, enter your name, email, and other information (if applicable). Leave the “Key Algorithm” and “Use Digital ID for” fields alone. Click “Next.”
- On the next screen, enter your desired password and click “Finish.” You will then have the choice to enter your new electronic signature into the form. (Note: From now on, you will be able to use this signature, without having to create a new one, as long as you use the same computer. You will have to create a new electronic signature if you use a different computer in the future.
Step 4: Once the form is complete, click “File,” then “Save As” to save the completed form onto your computer.
Step 5: Email the form as an attachment.
