Allow signing PDFs with stored signatures

[Proteus]

This is similar to the Preview app in OSX. Firefox already allows annotations on demand to draw a signature on a PDF. The idea is to

1. Store the signature annotation and Sync it.

2. View stored signatures on devices and be able to select one to be used as a signature annotation.

Optionally one could protect the signatures using the master password mechanism used to protect stored logins.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

We are considering doing this. The feature would allow you to either draw, or use an image of a signature, or type with a font that looks like handwriting.

[Proteus]

Awesome. Just don’t forget the Sync part since it would make the feature stand out!

Signing PDF's digitally is very much needed.

Happy to share that we are starting working on this very soon!

Firefox should allow pdf manupulation. signing, and others

PDF annotations are already available on Firefox — learn more here. Is there any additional functionality you'd like to see added? Let us know.

Work on this has started, so we are updating to 'In development' — feel free to keep the conversation going (your insights are always super valuable) and stay tuned for updates 😀

I love that this feature is on the way because it would complete my use cases for interactions with PDFs. I would have zero needs to ever have Adobe Reader.

Though I am all for expanding features for PDFs

The work here is in progress, and we're hoping to be able to release it in Firefox 137 (March 3).

I think this has been implemented in 128.7.0esr (64-bit).  It works great!

@marcoThe PDF integration work is always appreciated. Glad to hear this feature will be out in the next release (hopefully at least!)
