Where should a signature go on a PDF?
Place your signature on the designated signature line, or in the bottom-right corner of the last page if no line is specified. For multi-page contracts, each page requiring initials needs a separate mark.
Check the document instructions before signing. Some forms ask for a date, printed name or initials beside the main signature.
