Why Contracts Ask You to Add Initials to PDF Pages
Initials on each page show that you have read every page, not just the one you signed. They also make it harder for someone to swap a page afterwards. Leases, loan documents and service agreements often ask for them.
When you add initials to PDF pages with PDF Magic, your initials are placed as an image, just like a handwritten mark on paper. They look the same on screen and in print.
You still sign the last page as usual. Use the Sign tool for your full signature and the date.
