• “Physically” signing electronic documents

    by  • March 14, 2013 • Tech • 0 Comments

    Luckily, most of the electronic documents that I’ve received recently that require my “physical” signature have been Word documents. This way I can easily insert my signature as an image and send it back. Unfortunately, I don’t have to software to do that with PDFs.

    However, according to Lifehacker, there are some solutions available on various platforms. The programs discussed are the HelloSign Chrome extension, SignNow on iOS & Android, and DocuSign Ink for Android.

    Now I’m sort of hoping someone will send me a lucrative contract in a PDF format so I can try them out. (Ok, I know the lucrative part is just wishful thinking.)
