PDFs are great for keeping documents properly formatted and preventing easy editing. This makes them perfect for documents that need to be signed, as a properly formatted PDF is difficult to tamper with. If you're on Mac OS and need to sign a PDF, you can use the built-in Preview app to add your signature. To do so, find and open the PDF you need to sign, click on the show markup toolbar icon, select the signature icon, create and save your signature using your trackpad, webcam, or iPhone/iPad. If you choose to use your trackpad, click the text as prompted using your finger to sign your name. If you have a Force Touch trackpad, press more firmly to sign with a thicker stroke. Once you've signed, tap any key and click done to create your signature.
