Question

How to add a digital ID

I used to be able to simply sign digitally by going to "fill and sign", "place signature", then drag new signature box, then it would ask for a password, then it would ask me to save the file and then I would have a signed, locked document.  My hard drive was replaced and I am trying to recreate that capability.  How do I do that?

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Can I customize the certificate?

Is there a way to import my signature which I have in a jpeg file to use with the signature?

Thanks
