How to sign a PDF document quickly and cheaply

pdfsignature

I need to sign a PDF document.
However, Adobe Reader does not let me sign documents.
I just need to sign the document, not edit it.

Do I need to buy the full Acrobat software?

Or is there a better, simpler way?

Ancient Question trumped by passage of time...

Acrobat Reader XI allows for signing documents by several methods including a scanned image.

You can then send the signed document by Email, Fax, have other sign or simply save a copy.

The file now has the signature included within it. You don't even need Acrobat itself, download PDFCreator from SourceForge to generate your document that needs to be signed, send it to the person needing to sign. They open it in Acrobat Reader XI, attach the signature and send it back to you for printing for your records.
