How to Sign PDF by Typing your Signatures on Mac

PDFs are great for keeping documents properly formatted and preventing easy editing, making them perfect for documents that need to be signed. If you're on Mac OS and need to sign a PDF, you can use the built-in Preview app. Open the PDF in Preview, click on the show markup toolbar icon, then select the signature icon. Create and save your signature using your laptop's trackpad, built-in webcam, or an iPhone or iPad. Use your finger to sign on the trackpad or press more firmly on a force touch trackpad for a thicker stroke. Tap any key and click done to create a signature using your webcam.
