PDFpen for Mac and PDFpen for iPad & iPhone make it easy to sign a document, either by scanning in a hand written signature, or using the scribble tool to write out a signature. But did you know you can keep that signature close at hand for fast reuse? Add it to your PDFpen Library of stored shapes and objects.
If you need to brush up on how to add a signature to a document check out the Help, or watch our video, “Sign a PDF.”
