How to sign a PDF on Linux =========================== First, you need a transparent image of signature, eg as a PNG file. Android works pretty well for this: you can sign a blank piece of paper, take a photo, and clean it up. Then can use gimp if necessary to remove background and make a transparent image. NOTE: if text import isn't working, need to go in preferences and change input type (!), see also . To edit PDFs, use `xournalpp`, which is a GUI tool packaged in Debian. You can add text and paste images, then export as PDF. Via:
