Signing a PDF digitally
Fill in and sign our documents without a printer or scanner.
Life Experts cares about the environment. It usually makes no sense to print the fillable documents we send you, sign them and scan them back in. We do everything we can so that you can fill in and sign your documents digitally as much as possible.
With Adobe Acrobat Reader you can fill in a fillable PDF and also sign it digitally. Make sure you have an eID card reader, that you know your PIN code and that the Belgium eID software is correctly installed on your device. You may also need to be able to edit Microsoft Word documents. If you do not have a Microsoft Office subscription, you can install OpenOffice for free.
