Make PDF look as a scanned document

[lcasarin]

For some things people requiere a digitalized document of a wet signature making it a hassle.
1. Print
2. Sign by hand
3. Scan document

There are some tools online that can help make a fully digital document look as if it was scanned

Example:

Is there a way to do this with PDF Xchange?

Hello, lcasarin

We offer two tools which you could use to accomplish this. If you simply need to place a signature graphic in the file, without any special security and such in place, on the "protect" tab, you will find the "signatures and initials" tool:

image.png

This allows you to type, draw, or import a scanned image of your signature for later repeated use in any PDF document that does not restrict base content editing.

If you need to fully convert the document content into a single "image" object, than the "rasterize pages" tool on the convert tab is what you are looking for:

image(1).png

With this tool, do note that by default it will leave most content as is. You need to manually choose to rasterize each content type the first time you run it (It will remember those settings the next time you run it).

Kind regards,
