I think he meant digital signature
In case he meant regular (drawn) signature, it can be done via Preview on Mac. For a local web use, I built for myself https://formulairemagique.fr for this very reason

That would be nice if websites support that. But in my experienced all PDF forms I fill in have to be printed and then signed and posted...

Microsoft Word stores XML documents inside a zip archive. There is a detailed specification of the format available: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_standards/...
