How to HelloSign Lock PDF

In today's video tutorial, I will demonstrate how to sign a PDF file that is not allowing you to insert your signature. You can easily sign a normal PDF file by going to the required area, selecting the sign option, and inserting your signature. However, if the sign option is not active in a particular PDF file, you can resolve this issue by changing the settings to print the document using Microsoft Print to PDF. This will allow you to save and insert your signature successfully. Check out the link in the description for a video tutorial on how to insert your signature.
