How to insert a photo signature in a pdf

greetings Laura leader here with law office solution in this tutorial I want to show you how you can take a scanned image of your signature and save that as a little image file and then later you might use that as your signature inside a Word document inside an email message anyplace you want to make it look like you signed something even though you're really just sitting at your desk so the first thing you want to do is make the scan document so obviously you need something that will scan I recommend using a blue pen so that your image is blue and will look more real and I recommend a fine tip felt pen because that will give you a nice solid line that will be easy for the computer to see Yoda little stand out I didn't have one of those handy I used a different type of pen but I got a pretty decent line here you can see it's not too faint in areas so the first thing you want to do is find a piece paper scan that and then you'll have the scanned item now it may be an image you scan to most likely it'll be a PDF and so I'm going to show you the first step is how if it is a PDF how do would you get that image as an image out of that document I've got it in Word not PDF just because that was more handy for me but it all works the same so let's just pretend like this is in a PDF document and you're looking at it on your computer screen I'm going to go to my Start button in Windows and this will work in Windows 10 or 2007 I'm going to start typing the word snip because that will bring up the snipping tool which comes with windows click that that here's a little snipping tool that popped up now the way you use this I wanted I want to just snip my signature so I'm going to click new everything goes hazy and I will click and drag around the image that I want and as soon as I let go whatever I have selected it copies so it's now copied to memory it's showing it to me here I'm going to why's that now I need to get that into some sort of photo editing software and for this I'm going to use something called paint.net because it's free I'll show you where you can go to get it and it has a really cool tool that will let us make the background of our image transparent so that once you're using it like you can drag it over a line and the line will show through behind your signature so paint.net you can get let me go to their help button and go to their website at www.clemson.edu/peach I do occasionally because it's such a valuable...
