Signing a PDF in Firefox's built-in viewer: will the signature still show after saving?

Kacey Noms

Some of our property reports go to tenants as PDFs for a signature, and a few of them only use Firefox, so I'd like to point them to the built-in PDF viewer rather than asking them to install anything.

If someone signs with the draw tool and then saves with the download button, does the signature stay in the file and show up properly in other readers like Adobe Acrobat? And is there a better tool in the viewer for signatures than freehand drawing?

Keep in mind that this is not a digital signature, it's just a picture. Yes, it should be visible in Adobe Acrobat.
