  • macmost.com/e-2414 You don't need to print out, sign, and then scan in documents. You can sign them right on your Mac. Using the Markup Tools in Mac Preview and other places, you can sign documents and fill in other text. Your signatures are saved for later use so it is even easier after the first time.

    I learned more here in a few weeks on Mac OS than I knew about Windows, which I was using since forever. Again another great tip, because I was that guy printing, and scanning documents to sign. Those days are over now 😉. Really like your channel, keep it going! Thanks for all the great tips so far!!!

    I'm truck driver. Printer / scanner was acting up; so I smashed it! This allowed me to sign a contract without the printer / scanner. Saved me from having to find a place to park 18 wheeler by Best Buy etc; to buy new printer! Very happy.

    Gary - just a quick note to thank you for this very useful tutorial. Also, I just want to mention how much I appreciate the thoroughness of your explanations - you go to the trouble of telling us that if our screen doesn’t look like yours, what steps we need to take to conform them in order to proceed - the sign of a very logical mind!

    I had no idea that Mac had these signature features! I never needed to do this on a PDF before, but a quick search on your website, Gary, revealed this oh-so-useful feature! Thanks for all you do for us Mac users!

    Im so glad you made this video. I learned this on my own by playing with the program, but this is so useful. Preview isn't as powerful as Adobe, but you don't need all of that power if you are just signing documents. Thank you for this. No more printing just to sign.

    Thank you so much for this absolutely brilliant explanation of options. I know how to annotate pdfs, but didn't know all these options. I bookmarked your video. I can send this to instruct someone if I need their signature and they don't know how. This ends a time consuming barrier and helps others have an easier time with their future online signature needs.

    Gary, use this all the time. Learned on some sensitive documents I should be re-exporting to a PDF so they can't be changed - thank you. Also, on one set of documents, I change the color of my signature as a means of authentication. You may want to show how that is done in one of your videos. (Can be done to current signatures.)

    Great tip but one thing to consider is that some institutions don’t accept digitally sign documents, example of this is the DMV, I got a car registration rejected because of the signature and a friend of mine had the same situation applying to rent an apartment, we have to print the documents signed with regular pen and submit it again.
    The rest of the application was fine to do it digitally.

    Great tips...thank you. While on the subject of PDFs...is there anything in the MAC world that allows me to create an 'enterable PDF'? I need to make up a form that will turn into a contract once the client(or myself) fills in the needed information. I have one already that I made maybe ten years back with Adobe's Acrobat Pro with a friend's application but that option is not available. So...is there a way? Thanks for any direction you may have.

    • @macmost
