How to Create a Signature for PDF Forms in Adobe Reader
Create your signature: 1. Click on Place Signature. 2. Decide if you want to type your signature, draw a signature, or use an image of your signature.
To Draw Your Signature:
Choose Draw My Signature in the drop-down in the Place Signature window.
The signature is best drawn on a touch pad : On a Mac: push down on the touchpad as if you are clicking and hold down as you are moving your finger (or an iPad/iPhone stylus) to sign in the Draw Your Signature window. On aPC: Hold down the left button as you draw your signature on the touchpad.

If you don't have a touchpad, you can draw your signature by holding down the left mouse button and drawing with your mouse. This method is tricky, and I congratulate you if you can get a good signature out of it.
Click the Accept button.
Once you've created a signature you can use it anytime for future documents. If you want to create a new signature, click on Place Signature and then Clear Signature.
