How to Add Initials and a Date to a Signed PDF for Free

Many forms ask you to initial every page and sign (and date) the last one. You can do that online without printing, scanning, or creating an account.

1. Open Sign PDF and upload your file

Go to Sign PDF and upload the PDF. Only PDF documents are accepted for signing; use JPG to PDF first if you have a scan.

2. Create initials

Switch the stamp type to Initials. Draw, type (for example "A.B."), or upload a small PNG/JPG of your initials. Use Add to this page on each page that needs initialing.

3. Add a full signature and date

Switch back to Signature, create your full name stamp, and optionally enable Add date stamp so today’s date (editable) appears beside the signature. Place it on the signature line — often the last page.

4. Save once

After stamps are on every required page, click Add Signature to PDF and download. PdfPeaks places a visual signature stamp — not a cryptographic digital signature. For everyday forms this is often enough; check requirements for your document and jurisdiction.
