How to Add a Signature to Your Logbook Using Adobe Acrobat Reader?

📘 Why this matters:
Before uploading your logbook for marking, both you and your mentor must sign the document. Using Adobe Acrobat Reader is the easiest and safest way to do this electronically.

✅ Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open your logbook

• Download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) from https://get.adobe.com/reader.
• Open your saved logbook PDF in Acrobat Reader.

2. Select the Drawing Tool (not the Signature Tool)

• Choose the pen icon 🖊️ (Draw).
• Use your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen to draw your signature.

✅ This keeps your logbook editable.

⚠️ Do not use “Add Signature.”
The signature tool might lock the file and prevent you adjusting later.

3. Save a copy and share it with your mentor

• Ask your mentor to repeat the same steps using the Drawing Tool.

⚠️ Important: Both the student and mentor signatures must be full handwritten signatures, not typed or digital stamps.

4. Save and check your file

• Re-open the file to ensure all signatures are visible and correctly placed.

5. Upload to your LMS

• Navigate to the Logbook section.
• Click Add submission → Upload this file → Save changes → Submit assignment.

💡 Helpful Tips

• Always keep an unsigned backup copy of your logbook before adding signatures.
• Both the student and mentor signatures must be present before submission.
