Sign your paperwork without a printer
1
Open the paperwork
Tap the PDF in your email or in the Files app. Tap the Share button (the square with the arrow) and choose eSign PDF. If you only have a paper copy, you can take a picture of it inside the app.
2
Sign and fill it in
Draw your signature with your finger and put it on the signature line. Type your name and the date where the form asks.
3
Send it back
Tap Share and choose Mail, or save it to Files if you need to upload it to a website.
If they can't see your signature
Some computers do not show a signature added with the iPhone's built-in tool. The office opens your file and the line looks empty. Then they ask you to do it again.
eSign PDF locks the signature into the page (this is called flattening). It becomes part of the paper, so it shows up for everyone.
The free way
Your iPhone has a built-in tool called Markup. Open the PDF, tap the pen icon, tap +, and choose Add Signature. For a simple one-page form, it can work fine. See our page on signing a PDF without printing for more help.
The easier way
eSign PDF lets you sign and fill in paperwork on your iPhone and send it back so it shows up on any computer. $59.99 one-time (US). No account. Nothing is uploaded.
