PDFs are great for keeping documents properly formatted and preventing easy editing, making them perfect for documents that need to be signed. On Mac OS, you can use the built-in Preview app to add your signature to a PDF. To do this, open the PDF in Preview, click on the show marker toolbar icon, select the signature icon, and create and save your signature. You can use your trackpad, built-in webcam, or iPhone/iPad for input. If using the trackpad, sign your name with your finger or use a force touch trackpad for a thicker stroke. Tap any key and click done to create a signature. Alternatively, use your webcam to create a signature.
