Add signature image to pdf preview

I have a medical practice where pdf's are created in a browser window to preview. I'm looking for a way to add an image of my signature to the pdf prior to printing. Currently I have to download to desktop and open with Preview (mac) or Foxit (pc) - add the signature; then print or fax or email. Is there a workaround or add on that will help?

Firefox's PDF viewer and the Adobe Acrobat plugin are "read only" and you can't modify the PDF using either one. (In Adobe's you can fill in form fields if the creator of the PDF allowed that.) I don't know about Foxit, but it also might be "read only" in the browser.

I've never heard of a plugin that lets you edit a PDF in the browser, perhaps because it would be difficult to save the results? But you might search around for one, maybe it's out there.

Or... maybe the software you're using to generate the PDFs can incorporate your signature into them in the first place? That would be simpler, assuming you trust everyone who has access to the system.
