What is signing a PDF, and how does this free tool work?
Signing a PDF means placing your signature onto a document so it can be shared as a signed file, without printing it, signing by hand and scanning it back. Scolar’s Sign PDF tool is a free, browser-based way to do this for anyone in Nepal: you open the PDF, tap the + button to draw your signature with a mouse, finger or stylus (or type your name in a script style), drop it onto the real page, drag and resize it, then download the result.
Why it is free, with no sign-up and unlimited use
The entire process runs on your own device. Because nothing is uploaded to a server, there is no storage cost for us and no account for you to create. That is why the tool stays 100% free, asks for no email or password, adds no watermark, and lets you sign unlimited files and pages.
How signing works, step by step
- Add your PDF: choose a file or drag it into the box. It opens as the real page, read locally.
- Add your signature: tap the + button, draw it on the pad, or type your name for a flowing script. Pick blue or black ink.
- Place it: the signature lands on the page — drag it anywhere, pull the corner handle to resize, and flip pages to sign a different one or every page at once.
- Download: the signed PDF is generated in your browser and saved straight to your device.
Is a signed PDF from this tool valid?
The tool stamps a visible signature image onto the page — the practical equivalent of a handwritten signature on a printed document. For most everyday paperwork in Nepal, such as forms, applications and agreements between parties, this is widely accepted. Where the law requires a cryptographically certified digital signature (for example under Nepal’s Electronic Transactions Act), use a government-recognised certificate provider; this tool does not issue such certificates.
