Sign Any PDF on iPhone Without Printing

The old way of signing a PDF was painful: download, print, sign by hand, scan back, email. It took 15 minutes minimum and required a printer. PDF Editor eliminates every single one of those steps. You can sign any document directly on your iPhone in under 60 seconds.

How E-Signatures Work in PDF Editor

PDF Editor lets you draw your signature directly on the screen using your finger. Your signature is saved for future use — so the second time takes about five seconds. You can also add initials, dates, or typed text anywhere on the document.

Step-by-Step: How to Sign a PDF

1. Open the document in PDF Editor. You can import a PDF from your email, Files app, or scan a paper document first.
2. Tap the "Sign" tool from the bottom toolbar (the pen icon).
3. Draw your signature on the signature pad using your finger. Take your time — you can redo it as many times as needed.
4. Tap "Done." Your signature appears as an element on the document.
5. Drag and resize the signature to position it exactly where it belongs on the page.
6. Save the document and share it via email, Messages, or any app.

Tips for a Better Signature

• Use a stylus for more natural-looking signatures if you want it to closely match your real signature.
• Draw slowly on the first try to get the right shape. The app captures every curve.
• Save your signature — PDF Editor remembers it so you don't need to redraw it every time.
• Add a date field using the Text tool to include the signing date next to your signature.

What You Can Sign

E-signatures in PDF Editor work for all types of documents:

• Rental and lease agreements
• NDAs and business contracts
• Consent forms
• School and medical paperwork
• Freelance and work agreements
• Government and legal forms

Beyond Signing: Full PDF Editing

PDF Editor isn't just a signature tool. After you sign, you can continue editing the document — add text annotations, draw freehand, insert images, or erase content. Everything you need to prepare a document for sending is built right in.

Once your document is ready, share it instantly via email, WhatsApp, Telegram, or save it to iCloud or Files. Your signed PDF looks professional on any device and is ready to be used straight away.
