Signing a PDF in the cloud

[Biscuit1018]

I am trying to automate a process to submit my Medical invoices to Discovery

The bit I am struggling with is to automate a manual process

The manual process
-Open a PDF in a Adobe (Free)
- Sign the PDF using a jpg image
- Save

The other stuff is easy

I would like to drop the pdf into a cloud folder (or email it), have it add the image and pick up the signed pdf on the other side

Any smart ideas?

EDIT => Clearly I wasnt clear enough...
I want the pdf to be edited without me doing anything apart from it being in a folder. Zero clicks. Zero saves

What I want to achieve is as follows
- From Gmail - I label it and it autosaves to a watch folder -that part is easy
- Now the bit I need help with => A background process picks up the PDF and adds the image (which will contain my signature and my Discovery Number) and saves the edited file hopefull into another directory
- I then autosend the resultant file to Discovery - Again Easy

It is just the middle step I need help with

Pdf Expert is what I use. PDF is downloaded to my NAS cloud and signed and emailed back.
Non PDF docs are converted with PDF converter.
And all done on my iPhone

Why muck about with jpegs? Create a new signature and initial in Adobe then with two clicks you can add it.

With the free version?

I use the dochub addon for gmail.
Save your signature once > select where to place it on the document > save as PDF

I want to drop a few pdfs into a folder and want an automated process to sign it

I think you may have to pay for the acrobat version of adobe pdf editor.. it allows you to create automation tools using javascript which is placed in a javascript folder for acrobat.. when the program is launched it uses the javascript file to apply whatever actions you specify.. not sure if this includes signing though..

all you need from there if it works is a script watching your drop folder, which then launches acrobat with that pdf.. not sure about the save and close part though...
