There is nothing more frustrating than being emailed a document and realising you now have to waste time by printing, signing, scanning and sending the signed copy back.
Thankfully since OSX version 10.7 preview has the ability to add your signature straight into PDF documents.
Its quite a simple process to set this up and can save a lot of hassle in the long run.
To start just open Preview on your mac then navigate to the Preferences section from the menu then just click on the Signatures pane.
Next your going to want to write your signature out on a blank white piece of paper, I’ve found using a black felt tip marker is the best for results.
Click the create signature button and a window will pop up and prompt you to hold your signature in front of your built in camera.
When it recognizes your signature and you’re happy with it, simply press accept and you’re ready to insert your signature into PDF documents.
Your signature can now be accessed through Preview by selecting the “Show Edit Toolbar” from the View menu and using the insert signature icon as seen circled below on the Edit Toolbar and simply clicking to add your signature.
Any feedback let us know,
Dave.
