How to digitally sign a pdf document on a Mac computer

---

A lot of times nowadays communication takes place by e-mail and sometimes documents, like PDF files, need to be signed and returned to sender.

A normally cumbersome process

So your typical workflow will look like this:

• You print the document
• Sign the document with a pen
• Scan the signed document to the computer again
• e-mail the document back

Apple to the rescue

Most people working on a Mac aren’t aware of a default function built in the Preview app within Apple mac OS. I’ll show you how to easily create a digital signature and save it for future documents on your Mac.

First open the preview app with any pdf or image (just to be able to create your signature)

• press the markup button on top of the window
  
• Click the Sign button
  
• Press the Click here to begin button
  
• Create your signature and press any button to save and press done
  
• Click anywhere in the document and click the sign button again.
  
• Now your signature will be available to place and resize anywhere in your document
  

Your new workflow

Your new workflow will look something like this from now on:

• You open the document
• Sign the document by selecting your signature
• e-mail the document back

Presto!
