Download the PNG
Keep transparency on unless the destination requires a white box. Save the file and drop it into Word, Sign PDF upload, or Rent Receipt Generator.
Initials tip
For an initials mark, type two or three letters and pick a denser font. Inside Sign PDF you can also place an Initials field and capture a short mark there.
