Alright here is what you need to do:


1. Open the word document.

2. Select File>Save As>PDF (Make sure to save it in a location you will find easily i.e. your desktop).

3. Close Word.

3. Open the PDF (it should open directly in Preview but if it does not simply secondary/right click on it and select Open with>Preview)

4. Open the edit toolbar (It is the icon directly to the left of the search box that looks like a pen in a square. The tool bar will drop down at the top of the PDF.)

5. Click the Sign button (It looks like a signature, it should be the last item in the tool bar).

6. Follow the on screen instructions to create your signature.

7. Once the signature is created, click the Sign button again.

8. Select the signature and drag it to where you want on the document.

9. Adjust the size.

10. Save the file and you are done!
