Adobe Reader lets you sign PDFs and incorporate that signature into the file. If you are viewing a PDF on the web, download the PDF first before you sign it.

Some documents have security applied that prohibits electronic signatures. In Adobe Reader Print such documents, save as a PDF and then sign the printed copy.

Please note, when printing in CampLegal the system now populates all the blank fields with “N/A”. Please refer to this link about “N/A” in forms: https://www.aila.org/advo-media/agency-liaison/case-examples/uscis-rejection-forms-i-589-claimed-incompleteness
