Working with PDF documents

What is the difference between an ‘electronic signature ‘ and a ‘digital signature’ on a PDF document?

An electronic signature is when you are putting your normal signature onto a PDF document as you would on paper. Following the process in the guide below, you can do this by typing, by drawing or by adding an image of your signature.

A digital signature is when you need to sign a PDF using an electronic stamp of authentication. It confirms to the recipient that the information originated from the signer and has not been altered since it left them.
