Not with Adobe unless you get them to add support for it.

Alternative:

• Install and open Xournal (sudo apt install xournal)
• Choosee "Annotate PDF" from the File menu and select the PDF to sign.
• Click the "Image" button in the toolbar
• Click on document
• Select an image of your signature

2. Click: "Open with other application"
3. Type: draw and select "LibreOffice Draw"

Insert the picture of your signature

1. From the top menu of Draw, click Insert
2. Click image...
3. Select an image of your signature
4. Resize and drag where you need it

Export to PDF

This can be done either from the red PDF icon on the right side of the printer icon in the top left corner, or from:
