What is the best way to capture a signature for background removal?
Sign on plain white paper with a black pen. Photograph in good light without shadows. Ensure the signature has high contrast (dark ink on white paper). This gives the AI the clearest signal for accurate removal.
Can I add a transparent signature to a PDF?
Yes. Use PDF Mavericks Sign tool to add your signature to a PDF. Alternatively, in Word, insert the PNG and set its text wrapping to 'In Front of Text' so it overlays the document content.
What if my signature looks jagged after background removal?
Jagged edges usually result from low-resolution scanning. Scan at 300 DPI or higher for clean edges. After removal, use the edge smoothing slider in the tool to reduce jaggedness before downloading.
