So you receive a document that needs to be signed. You fill in the blanks using your computer and print it. You now sign the hard copy, scan it into your computer, and then email the file to whomever needed your signature in the first place. Whew! That was pretty complicated just to sign a simple electronic form. Digitize. Kill a tree. Redigitize. It really should be easier than that!
Okay, it’s not that complicated and you really didn’t kill a whole tree when you printed it, but you did waste some valuable time going through all those steps. What if you had an app within which you could sign the form and save it or email it to yourself or someone else?
The Sign Now iPhone and iPad app allows you to do just that. It is very easy to use. Simply tap on the document icon to open a document. You may then import from email, take a photo, select a photo, or open a sample document. Once you do that you may click on the area in which you wish to sign or insert text. To insert a signature, I click on “Insert Signature” and use your finger to write your signature. Click “Done” when you are finished. You will then be taken back to the original document. Click where you would like to have your signature inserted. Use the slider to adjust the size of the signature.
I found this app about the same time that a customer sent me a form that required a signature for payment. So I know that it works. This is a great little free app that you will undoubtedly prove to be helpful. This is a good one to check out.
All the best…Mike
