Make your signature and place it
Draw it with your finger. Or sign a white piece of paper with a pen, take a photo of it, and use that. Drag the signature onto the line. The app keeps it for next time.

If they can't see your signature
A signature added with the iPhone's built-in tool sits on top of the page. Some Windows computers and Android phones do not show it. The other person sees an empty line.
eSign PDF locks the signature into the page (this is called flattening). Then it shows up on any computer or phone.
The free way
Your iPhone's built-in Markup tool lets you draw a signature. Open the PDF, tap the pen icon, tap +, then Add Signature. For a simple one-page form, that can be enough. It does not let you use a photo of your pen signature. More help: how to sign a PDF on iPhone.
The easier way
eSign PDF lets you draw, type, or use a photo of your signature, then place it on any document. $59.99 one-time (US). No account. Nothing is uploaded.
FAQ
Do I need to scan my signature?+
No. You can draw it on the screen with your finger. If you prefer your pen signature, one photo of it is enough.
Does a finger signature look OK?+
It looks a bit different from pen on paper, and that is normal. Sign slowly and it will look like you.
Do I have to make a new signature every time?+
No. eSign PDF saves your signature on your iPhone so you can reuse it.
