Installation Guides
If you have downloaded sign pro PDF you can use the following guides to install the application:
- To install and using the sign pro PDF application follow the Quick Start Guide
- To install sign pro PDF through command line follow the Administrator Guide
Depending on the signature device you want to use with sign pro PDF, you must also install the required driver.
- If using an STU device then make sure that the STU driver is installed.
- During the installation process you will be asked if you want to install the STU Driver along with sign pro PDF. If you forgot to tick this check box, use the link above to download and install the driver.
- If using a DTU or similar Wacom pen display tablet the Wacom tablet driver must be installed.
- If using a Wacom-supported touch-screen device the Wacom Feel Driver must be installed.
- If using a device which is not operated using Wacom hardware such as a touch-screen digitizer or pen, then a special RTS license for sign pro PDF must be obtained from Wacom Sales.
Note:
If sign pro PDF is being used in a remote desktop environment (RDP) then third-party USB forwarding software must be used to forward the pen data over the network.
The only way round this is to use a signature pad which operates serially such as:

- STU-540 (which can be switched into serial mode)
Receiving and activating your License Key (Premium license only)
If you purchased a Premium license you should have received your license key by email. The license key and download link will be sent to you in 2-4 business days once your order finishes processing.
The software and license key can also both be downloaded from your account on the eStore under "My Software Licenses"
Once you have your license key ready and sign pro PDF is installed, go to Settings > About > Manage License to enter the license key.
There you have two options before clicking Save:
- Copy and paste the full key string into the “Premium Mode” section and click Save
- Or click "Add license key from PC" and select the file you have downloaded from your account and click Save.
Note:
You must have internet access to activate your license key and ensure you have HTTPS port 443 open. Ensure that a firewall or other Internet security setting on PC or proxy is not blocking access to the license server.
