Signing important documents on your iPhone has become more convenient than ever with the help of Markup functionality. If you have received a document via email that requires your signature, you can easily add your signature using the Markup tool directly on your device.
Step 1: Opening the Email
Begin by opening the email that contains the document you need to sign. Locate the attachment within the email that you want to sign, and then tap on the attachment to open it on your iPhone.
Step 2: Accessing Markup
Once you have opened the document, tap on the Markup icon, which looks like a pencil tip inside a circle. This will allow you to access the Markup tools that you can use to sign the document.
Step 3: Adding Your Signature
Within the Markup tools, tap on the signature icon, which looks like a cursive letter ‘S’. You will be prompted to add a signature, which you can do by either selecting ‘Add or Remove Signature’ or by creating a new signature using your finger on the screen.
Step 4: Placing Your Signature
After you have added your signature, you can then place it on the document by tapping and dragging it to the desired location. You can also resize and rotate the signature as needed to fit the document.
Step 5: Saving the Signed Document
Once you are satisfied with the placement of your signature, tap on ‘Done’ to save the changes. You will then be given the option to either reply to the email with the signed document or save it to your Files or another location on your iPhone.
Step 6: Confirming the Signature
Before finalizing the process, make sure to review the signed document to ensure that your signature appears correctly and is placed where you intended. You can zoom in on the document to check for any errors.
Step 7: Sending the Signed Document
Once you have confirmed that the document is signed correctly, you can then proceed to send it back via email. Tap on the send icon or the reply button to send the signed document to the sender.
Step 8: Keeping a Copy
It is always a good practice to keep a copy of the signed document for your records. You can save a copy of the signed document to your Files or another storage location on your iPhone for future reference.
Step 9: Additional Markup Features
Markup offers a variety of tools beyond signatures that you can use to edit documents, such as adding text, shapes, annotations, and more. Explore these features to make any necessary additional modifications to the document.
Step 10: Practice and Familiarize
Signing documents using Markup may take some practice to perfect, so don’t hesitate to experiment with different signature styles and placements until you find what works best for you. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become with the process.
Conclusion: Signing Documents Effortlessly
By following these steps, signing a document sent by email on your iPhone becomes a seamless and efficient process. Utilize the Markup tools available on your device to add your signature accurately, ensuring that your documents are signed and returned promptly.
